Parliament adopts “Family Values” bill in third reading

The Georgian Parliament adopted the bill On Family Values and Protection of Minors in its third reading with 84 votes. The bill was presented by Rati Ionatamishvili, chair of the Human Rights Protection and Civil Integration Committee.

Ionatamishvili claimed that the initiative aligns with the values that Georgian society demands.

The newly adopted law addresses several key areas, including marriage, adoption, foster care, medical procedures that alter a person’s biological sex, the designation of gender in official documents, and education. It also regulates issues related to public demonstrations and labor relations. Additionally, the legislative package introduces enforcement mechanisms to ensure the law’s proper implementation.

Moreover, the bill establishes May 17 as a day dedicated to the sanctity of the family and respect for parents.

The law defines marriage as a voluntary union between two individuals of different biological sexes to create a family. It prohibits the recognition or registration of any other type of union as marriage under Georgian law.

The Georgian Dream faction initiated this legislative package on June 4.
