In the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the issue of a broad interpretation of the right to marriage is all the more acutely debated, while the Court is beset with applications filed by homosexual and transgender individuals to have this right recognized.

However, so far, the European Court of Human Rights has not considered legitimate marriages between persons of the same biological sex (gay or lesbian).

The existence of the law, of its validity are extremely important both for its knowledge, and for its application and compliance. By applying a general principle of law that nemo censetur ignorare legem, we consider that the publication and knowledge of law are essential conditions for not be subject to unpredictable legislative events, with all the consequences arising therefrom. To avoid such events, the law, in its broad or narrow sense, is subjected to certain rules of validity. Among them lies the determining of the moment when the law enters into force and the one the law comes in force.
