This week, the Taipei High Administrative Court ruled that LGBTQ+ couples who live locally, but are from countries where same-sex marriage is still outlawed, can still wed in Taiwan.
Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage in 2019, but according to the Taipei Times, couples who lived in Taiwan, but emigrated there from countries where LGBTQ+ marriage was not recognised, were still unable to marry.
Taiwanese LGBTQ+ activist Chi Chia-wei campaigned against the regulations after he was unable to legally marry his Malaysian partner, and the legislation affected around 1,000 same-sex couples in the country.
