Slovenia codifies same-sex marriage and adoption
Same conditions as those that apply to married couples
05 October, 11:25
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, OCT 5 - On Tuesday, the Slovenian
Parliament passed changes to the family code that legalized
same-sex marriage and adoptions with 48 votes in favor and 29
votes against, according to the Slovenian news agency STA. The
amendments redefine marriage as a union of two people and allow
homosexual partners to adopt children under the same conditions
as married couples. The bill was drafted by the government and
passed two months after the Constitutional Court issued a
landmark ruling declaring the definition of marriage as a union
of a man and a woman to be discriminatory, as well as the
inability of same-sex partners to adopt. (ANSA).
