The approval means that the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill is likely to become law by the end of the week, paving the way for gay couples to marry as early as next year, the BBC has said.
Last month, peers approved the principle of same-sex marriage, despite stiff opposition to "wreck" the legislation. A number of MPs, many of which were Conservatives, as well as numerous religious groups also tried to stop the changes from going through.
On Monday, a few minor amendments, including one related to pension benefits for same-sex couples, were brought.
After clearing the House of Lords, the Bill will return to the Commons for a short debate on government amendments before it begins it summer recess on Thursday.
The Bill needs to receive Royal Assent before it can officially become law.
