Same-Sex Marriage: Nepal Supreme Court Orders Government To Legally Recognise Same-Sex Marriages, Give Approval To Nepali Man's Relationship With Foreign Husband
The decision comes after Adheep Pokhrel and Tobias Volz applied for a non-tourist visa for Volz in July 2022, which would entitle him to the same rights to live in Nepal as a married heterosexual spouse in the same circumstance. However, the government had denied the request.
The Supreme Court of Nepal Tuesday instructed the government to legally recognize same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court of Nepal has also ruled that the government must recognize the same-sex foreign spouse of a Nepali citizen. Building on judgments from 2007 and 2017 that recognized rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, the top court found that failure to recognize same-sex marriage violates Nepal’s constitution and its international human rights obligations.
