Court marriage of same-sex couples in Nepal: Legal status and challenges
Same-sex marriage (Nepali: समलिङ्गी विवाह pronounced [samlɪŋgi bibaː]) is a type of marriage that is done between two people of the same sex. Nepal has a diverse and vibrant LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual) community and has been regarded as a leader on LGBTQIA rights in South Asia. However, same-sex marriage still remains illegal in the country.
