Thailand has become the first nation in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriages, following a royal endorsement of a law passed by Parliament three months earlier.
This new law, effective Jan. 22, allows same-sex couples aged 18 and older to register marriages, securing rights such as inheritance, tax allowances, and child adoption.
The endorsement of the marriage equality bill is a significant milestone for LGBTQ rights in Thailand, advocating for broader recognition of gender identity in future legislation.
Thailand’s move to legalize same-sex marriage places it among approximately 40 countries worldwide that guarantee equal marital rights, promoting its image as an LGBTQ-friendly destination.
