Hungary bans same-sex couples from adopting children
15 December 2020
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 marriage is illegal in Hungary, but adoption has been possible if one partner applies on their own.
One rights group called the new laws "a dark day for human rights".
