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.

What’s considered South Asia is there Indian subcontinent. So India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, The Maldives, and sometimes Afghanistan depending on who you ask.

The Himalayas separate South Asia from what’s broadly considered East Asia, which is what Taiwan is a part of, given its historic ties to China.
