Recognition of Same-sex Relationships
There is no legal recognition of same-sex couples on a federal or subnational level. Both the federal constitution and the constitution of Republika Srpska remain silent on gender eligibility for a marriage, and the federal statues of Bosnia and Herzegovina themselves remain wholly silent on such requirements. On a subnational scale, however, both the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska limit marriage to opposite-sex couples, as prescribed by their respective family codes.

“American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences....
