The German parliament has passed a new law legalizing same sex marriage, under an amendment tagged “Marriage for all”.

Under the new law, gay couples have been granted full rights, including rights to adopt children.

The bill was passed by the Upper and Lower houses, though the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel Voted against it.

“For me, marriage in German law is marriage between a man and a woman and that is why I did not vote in favour of this bill today.”

“I hope that the vote today not only promotes respect between different opinions but also brings more social cohesion and peace,” she told reporters.
