Same-sex marriage is not legal in Vietnam, nor is any other form of same-sex union recognized. There has been no evident support of legal recognition for same-sex couples from the government of Vietnam. Public opinion about same-sex marriage is unknown.

Constitution

Article 64 of the Vietnamese constitution states that: "The family is the cell of society. The State protects marriage and the family. Marriage shall conform to the principles of free consent, progressive union, monogamy and equality between husband and wife. Parents have the responsibility to bring up their children into good citizens. Children and grandchildren have the duty to show respect to and look after their parents and grandparents. The State and society shall recognise no discrimination among children."
