Same-sex marriage in Nepal
Summary
Same-sex marriage has been provisionally recognised in Nepal since 24 April 2024, though same-sex couples are unable to access the legal rights and benefits of marriage. The process is also longer and more expensive than for opposite-sex couples, often requiring lawyer representation. As of 2026, thirty-five marriages have been documented by local LGBT rights organizations, with nine confirmed by local media reports.
