Talk:Legal status of same-sex marriage

Nepal
Nepal should be added to the list since Sweden has — Nepal is officially going to recognize them, but the date has simply not been decided upon yet. The unions are permitted, but legal recognition will take place shortly. I think that Nepal should be listed with (?) or (TBA) ["To-be-announced"] beside it. Plus, it will balance out the page, which looks strangely uneven with Sweden listed on the right but nothing on the left. Nepal could easily fill that blank space, and I see no reason why not to include it in that section (with the (?) or (TBA)) talk 4:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.150.22 (talk) It's 15 years later and we're still waiting on Nepal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:E5F0:9CF0:1A4A:9185:AA27:2A4E (talk) 01:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage in Nepal
Can someone provide an official and authoritive source that proves same-sex marriage is legal in Nepal?


 * There have been two separate court rulings directing the Nepali government to provide same-sex couples with spousal visas, but considering that there have been two court rulings over the same matter, has anything actually changed in real life?
 * There has been one same-sex marriage registered in a rural area, but it seems to be between transgender people.


 * The following article written on the 14th December 2023 claims that Nepal did not achieve marriage equality "quite yet". There was a register created to "recognise" same-sex marriages while the supreme court case was pending, but this article claims that "inconsistent bureaucracy make it virtually impossible for most queer couples to marry". Furthermore the one that was eventually recognised by the Nepali government was between a cis-gender male and a transgender female.
