South Korea’s Supreme Court on Thursday granted a same-sex couple spousal coverage under the state health insurance program. The historic ruling marks a significant step toward recognizing the legal rights of same-sex couples in the country, which continues to outlaw same-sex marriage.⁠
⁠
The ruling stated that denying spousal coverage to same-sex couples infringes on human dignity, the right to pursue happiness, privacy and equality before the law. Moreover, it emphasized that same-sex partners should be recognized as dependents if they rely on their employed partner for livelihood and are unable to pay insurance fees themselves.⁠
