我國同性婚姻之法律衝突問題

Same-Sex Marriages in Taiwan Private International Law

司法院釋字第 748 號解釋施行法僅就內國的同性婚姻關係做出實體法上 的相關規定，但對於涉外的同性婚姻關係應如何適用法律，並無明文。我國 現行法制對於與大陸地區人民之婚姻、與港澳地區人民之婚姻及與外國人民 之婚姻在法律適用規定上均不完全相同，使得涉外同性婚姻的法律適用問題 越形複雜。 我國法制應如何定性「同性婚姻」？關於涉外同性婚姻之準據法，是否 亦應適用結婚之準據法規定？上開問題均為我國同性婚姻之法律衝突之核 心。本文以比較法學分析方法，就上開問題逐一進行分析，並試著提出一些 具體建議予我國司法實務工作者。
