The new version of the relevant article of the Constitution reads: ‘Hungary shall protect the institution of marriage as a voluntary union between a man and a woman, as well as the family as the basis of the nation's existence’. The amendment stipulates that the basis of the family is marriage and the relationship between parents and children. It is emphasised that ‘the mother is a woman, the father is a man’.
