Moscow Court Upholds City Office's Decision Refusing to Register Lesbian Marriage

The Moscow City Court has upheld the refusal of the city civil registration office to register a marriage of two Russian women, who legalized their relationship in Canada.

Irina Fedotova and Irina Shipitko appealed to the Moscow City Court after the Tverskoy District Court had turned down their request, the Interfax-Religion website reports today.

The women will now appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

The couple registered their lesbian relationship in Canada in October, 2009.
