KDC refuses to register same sex marriage despite apex court order
Kathmandu District Court has refused to register the marriage of a same-sex couple who approached KDC following an order from the Supreme Court.
On June 28, the apex court legalised same sex marriage with a landmark verdict making Nepal the first South Asian Nation to legalise same sex marriage. However, word play by the courts has hindered social justice to the LGBTIQA+ community.
The recent interim order issued by the SC, directing the government to facilitate the temporary registration of same-sex marriages, is a significant milestone in the country's journey towards equality and inclusiveness. This progressive step taken by the apex court deserves commendation and support from all sections of society.
