The Nepal Supreme Court ordered the government to legalize #LGBT marriage 15 years ago. Having failed to pass an #EqualMarriage bill, the Supreme Court has issued this "interim" decision, which requires the government to register same-sex marriage until legislation is passed.

Tokyo district court rules ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. This is the fifth such ruling so far. It is likely that the Supreme Court will eventually rule on marriage. Couples still cannot marry in Japan.
