Abstract:
Nepal became the second country in Asia to provide legal recognition of marriage to LGBTIQ+ couples after Taiwan. Moving beyond mere "same-sex marriage" to marriage equality is crucial, ensuring equal legal rights and opportunities for all when it comes to marriage. Studies indicate such legalization leads to positive health outcomes, including reduced STIs, lower rates of suicidal behavior, and decreased healthcare costs among LGBTIQA+. To fully benefit from the legal recognition of marriage to LGBTIQ+ couples, Nepal must align all laws, implement inclusive policies, and provide high-quality healthcare tailored to the needs of the LGBTIQA+.
