In what year did Slovenia legalize same-sex marriage?

• A. 2021
• B. 2022
• C. 2023
• D. 2020

Answer: (B)

Same-sex marriage legality hinges on when a country formally recognizes marriages between two people of the same sex as equal to heterosexual marriages under national law. In Slovenia, civil partnerships were introduced earlier and granted many rights, but full marriage equality wasn't achieved until 2022. That year, the Parliament passed a law that explicitly legalized same-sex marriages, bringing their status in line with opposite-sex marriages and completing the legal shift toward equality. The other years did not mark the legal legalization itself, even though there may have been ongoing reforms or court actions beforehand.
