The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has held by four votes to three that the refusal of Denmark to grant family reunification to a Danish citizen of Tongolese origin and his Ghanaian wife does not violate Article 8 (right to family life) taken in conjunction with Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention on Human Rights. In addition, the couple’s Article 8 stand-alone complaint was unanimously rejected.
