Hungary Bans Gay Marriage

Hungary has adopted a new constitution which stipulates that marriage is for heterosexuals only.

Human life will be protected from conception and marriage will be defined as heterosexual co-existence in the new Constitution, according to the specimen The Principles of Regulating the Constitution of Hungary. Hungary would continue to be a republic and a democracy governed by the rule of law. The Royal Crown will be included in the preface to the Constitution and will be emblazoned on the state flag, the concept adds.

Hungary joined the EU in 2004. In 2009 Hungary established registered partnerships for same-sex couples.
