Binational Taiwanese same-sex couples' marriages and international weddings might soon be legally recognized in Taiwan, the Judicial Yuan announced January 22.
Chinese partners of Taiwanese citizens will be excluded from the change, according to a report in Focus Taiwan. The law will recognize a partner from Hong Kong or Macau.
Some binational same-sex couples' weddings and marriages that were held overseas were not legally recognized when Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019.
The law only recognized Taiwanese binational same-sex marriages of partners who were citizens of one of the 29 countries where marriage equality is legal.
