Slovenia passes same-sex marriage law
However, Slovenia's gay and lesbian organizations, while welcoming the move as a concrete step, criticized the law as "insufficient."The law limits the number of those attending marriage ceremonies to two partners and a local community registration official. No friends, relatives or any third person are allowed to attend the ceremony, which can be held only in a state office.
Same-sex partners must register 30 days in advance, submitting documents proving they are sane, healthy and unmarried.
Earlier this month, the Czech Republic became the first post-communist country to allow same-sex marriages.
