Taipei, May 6 (CNA) The Taipei High Administrative Court on Thursday issued a narrow ruling ordering a household registration office to permit a same-sex marriage involving a foreign national from a jurisdiction in which such marriages are illegal.
In the case in question, Taipei's Zhongzheng District Household Registration Office refused to permit the marriage of Taiwanese national Ting Tse-yan (丁則言) and his partner Guzifer Leong (梁展輝), who is from Macau, when they attempted to do so on Oct. 1, 2019.
