- Newer law has been passed "https://enrsi.stvr.sk/articles/topical-issue/416269/parliament-passes-constitutional-amendment (existing source, entirely irrelevant). An EU court ruling forces all EU member states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other EU countries. This means that if a same-sex couple was married in Germany, then moved to Slovakia, they could still adopt under this law."
