BUCHAREST, Romania—Romanian Senators approved a measure that would pave the way for the constitution to be changed to explicitly state that marriage is a union of a man and a woman on Sept. 13.
Senators voted 107-13 with seven abstentions to allow a referendum that could change the constitution, which currently states that marriage is a union between “spouses.” The vote comes after Parliament’s Chamber of Deputies last year overwhelmingly approved the same measure.
