Same-sex marriage in Taiwan

Ljubljana – The government adopted on Friday legislative changes to remedy the regulation prohibiting homosexual couples from getting married or adopting children. The changes to the family code will be fast tracked through parliament, the Government Communication Office said.

Montenegro's law on same-sex civil partnerships is a year old, but no one has been able to use it. Same-sex couples are waiting on myriad amendments to other laws, amid concern over the support of parliament.

The Taiwan Parliament has legalized same-sex marriages today, the French press reported, quoted by NOVA TV. 

This is the first such case in Asia. Parliament legalized same-sex marriages for two years after the Taiwan Constitutional Court ruled in May 2017 that they did not contradict the Taiwanese constitution.

Taiwan's parliament on Dec. 26 passed the first draft of a controversial marriage equality bill, moving the island a step closer to becoming the first place in Asia to legalize same-sex nuptials.
