Legality

Hi. I'm writing here to clarify what has been a point of controversy over this article: is same-sex marriage legal in Nepal or not? All the media sources I have read say that the Supreme Court has merely ordered the Nepali government to set up a commission looking into same-sex relationship recognition, including marriage and civil partnership. So, it is incorrect to say that same-sex marriage is legal in Nepal: the Court did not propose a deadline (like in South Africa), and neither are same-sex couples currently being issued marriage licences. I think we should wait and see how the government responds.

Nonetheless, this is a very interesting outcome. I would be interested in reading the actual court decision, if available in English. Ronline ✉ 12:25, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I edited it to make a little more sense with a little more detail. Its clear that they are allowing same sex marriage, but there law constitutes differently than American law. Therefore, they must go through a different procedure. Also, there not just recognizing same sex marriage, they have stated that all sexual minorities deserve to be treated equaly which concludes that marriage is part of this law.

I would love to find out more information, but it is currently under debate, so we just have to wait. IM EXCITED! Azcolvin429 (talk) 12:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm definitely excited too. This is the first example of same-sex marriage being explored judicially in Asia,. Nevertheless, I don't think the procedure is all that different to what other countries have gone through. The closest analogy I can find is South Africa, where the court gave the government a specific timeframe to implement marriage equality. In this case, however, the Court's ruling was more ambiguous. No deadline was given (i.e. legalise marriage in one year's time), and the Court didn't decide between marriage and civil unions. If the government decides to implement civil unions/registered partnership, this may still satisfy the equal rights requirement of the court (see also Civil unions in New Jersey). In any case, SSM is not currently legal in Nepal. Ronline ✉ 14:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sodomy illegal

Sodomy is illegal in Nepals Penal Code 1964, how can SSM be legal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk) 11:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was legalized in 2007. Wikitiki666 (talk) 00:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Newsticle

Court case

In Same-sex union court cases says of a June 2018 case: The Supreme Court of Nepal held that denying a dependent visa for a foreign same-sex spouse of a Nepalese citizen is unlawful, as the Immigration Rules do not specify the gender of the spouse.
