The Marriage Equality Legislation is replacing gender-specific terminology such as “man,” “woman,” “husband,” and “wife” with the inclusive terms such as “individual” and “spouse.”
It is ensuring the equitable division and ownership of assets acquired during marriage between same-sex couples.
It is granting the same-sex spouses the right to claim financial support in cases of separation or divorce.
The first Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage was Taiwan (2017).
