India’s SC rejected petitions for marriage equality, but Nepal’s SC rebuked the state for not registering same-sex marriages. What explains this difference?
"Love prevails in Nepal, Anju Devi Shrestha, aka Dipti Shrestha, 33, and Suprita Gurung, 33, both born female and identifying as women, have recently made history as the first lesbian couple in South Asia from Nepal to officially register their marriage in Baddiyatal, Ward No. 2, Jamuni Village (bordering India)," said Sunil Babu Pant.
Dipti Shrestha and Suprita Gurung, both 33 years old, "made history" by becoming the first lesbian couple in South Asia to officially register their marriage this week, said Sunil Babu Pant, a prominent LGBTQ rights advocate and former legislator in Nepal.
