The Moscow City Court found legitimate the refusal of a registry office to register the marriage of Irina Fedotova and Irina Shipitko. The refusal was grounded on a provision of the Family Code saying that a marriage requires consent of “the man and the woman,” whereas both plaintiffs are female. Fedotova and Shipitko intend to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
