ECtHR - Hode and Abdi v. the United Kingdom, Application No. 22341/09
Keywords:
Family reunification
The case concerns discrimination against a refugee and his post-flight wife in the enjoyment of their right to family life because she was not allowed to join him in the UK. This was owed to more restrictive rules for the reunification of the spouses of refugees in comparison to workers or students, or to refugees married at the time of the flight.
