Romanian senators have overwhelmingly voted for a measure that could be used to change the country’s constitution so that it defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Romania’s constitution currently defines marriage as a union between “spouses” and the latest vote could be the first step to limiting the definition of marriage in the country.
Senators voted 107-13, with seven abstentions, to allow the referendum to go ahead.
The action follows the launch of a petition which was signed by three million Romanians last year, which demanded that the definition of marriage be changed.
“We’ve been a Christian nation for 2,000 years,” said Serban Nicolae, a senator for the Social Democrats.
