An amendment also approved on Tuesday defines family as "based on marriage and the parent-child relation. The mother is a woman, the father a man".The Hungarian parliament has passed a law effectively banning same-sex couples from adopting children.
The legislation put forward by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing government says only married couples can adopt, with some exceptions for single relatives of the child.
Same-sex couples will now be unable to adopt, even if one of them applies as a single person.
Single people will now require special approval from the government to adopt."The main rule is that only married couples can adopt a child, that is, a man and a woman who are married," Justice Minister Judit Varga said.
