Nepal becomes first South Asian country to allow same-sex marriage - Lemmy.world

Supreme Court judge Til Prasad Shrestha ruled marriages of same-sex and non-traditional couples must be registered as “temporary” until lawmakers come up with a new legal framework to uphold such unions permanently. In an interim ruling on 28 June, the judge ordered Nepal’s government to set up a separate register of marriages for same-sex couples, who lawyers say will have the same rights as heterosexual partners.

Um, unless Taiwan is not part of “south asia”, they have been allowing non-heterosexual marriage for a well. Recently they are also planning to open Child adoption for non-heterosexual partners, but I did not follow up on how it went.
It’s not the location that’s the issue with Taiwan but the country status thing, with the autonomous mainland provinces refusing to declare independence and everything.
