In its ruling on Thursday, the country's highest court ruled that denying a same-sex couple national health insurance dependent coverage just because they are of the same sex constitutes a serious discrimination that infringed upon citizens' dignity and values, their rights to pursue happiness, their freedom of privacy and their rights to be equally treated by the law.
The decision would allow same-sex couples in the country to register their partners as dependents in national health insurance coverage like married couples or couples in a common-law marriage can.
