Thailand legalizes same-sex marriage, allows couples to wed starting in January
Associated PressBANGKOK — Thailand’s landmark marriage equality bill was officially written into law Tuesday, allowing same-sex couples to legally wed. This means LGBTQ+ couples will be able to register their marriage in January next year, making Thailand the third place in Asia, after Taiwan and Nepal, to allow same-sex marriage. Bangkok Deputy Governor Sanon Wangsrangboon said last week that the city officials will be ready to register same-sex marriages as soon as the law gets enacted. The legislation amended the country’s Civil and Commercial Code to replace gender-specific words such as “men and women” with gender-neutral words such as “individual.” The government led by the Pheu Thai party has made marriage equality one of its main goals.
