About Marriage Equality, Taiwan (24 May 2019)
Taiwan's Constitutional Court ruled in 2017 that the Civil Code's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional and gave the legislature two years. In 2018 a referendum voted to keep marriage defined as between a man and a woman, so the legislature passed a special law, the Act for Implementation of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748, which took effect on 24 May 2019. Hundreds of couples registered at household offices on that first day. Rules for adoption and for marriage to foreign nationals were widened later. The position elsewhere in Asia is different and changing.
