Cubans have approved a sweeping "family law" code that would allow same-sex couples to marry and adopt as well as redefining rights for children and grandparents.
President of the National Electoral Council, Alina Balseiro Gutiérrez said the measure, which contains more than 400 articles, was approved by 66.9% to 33.1%.
The measure had been approved by Cuba's Parliament, the National Assembly, after years of debate about such reforms.
The reforms had met unusually strong open resistance from the growing evangelical movement and many other Cubans despite an extensive government campaign in favour of the measure, including thousands of informative meetings across the country and extensive media coverage backing it.
