Thailand has become the third country in Asia where same-sex couples can marry, after Taiwan and Nepal.

Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn on Tuesday, September 24, signed a law legalizing same-sex marriage. This is the first case in Southeast Asia, AP reports.

The law calls for changes to Taiwan’s Civil and Commercial Code to replace the words “male and female” with gender-neutral words such as “person.”

Innovations make it possible for a married member of the LGBTQ+ community to adopt children and inherit the other partner’s property.

“Cheers to everyone’s love. Thank you for the support from all sectors. This is a common struggle for everyone,” wrote Prime Minister Petongtarn Chiwat on social media X.

The law will take effect in 120 days, same-sex couples will be able to register their marriage from January 2025.

Thailand has become the third country in Asia where same-sex couples can marry, after Taiwan and Nepal.

Today, more than 30 countries around the world have legalized same-sex marriage since the Netherlands was the first to pass such a law in 2001.

We remind you that the Greek Parliament has previously approved a bill allowing same-sex marriage. Greece became one of the first Orthodox countries to allow such unions.

It has also been reported that the Estonian parliament has adopted changes to the law allowing marriage between two adults, regardless of their gender.
