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.

Famous quotes containing the words recognition of and/or recognition:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can’t invent a design. You recognise it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
