Despite its historic achievement, the Taiwanese same-sex marriage law passed in 2019 did not provide full legal equality. One glaring omission is the right of all transnational same-sex couples to lawfully marry.
We are the Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights (TAPCPR) and, as the leading legal aid organization for LGBTI rights in Taiwan, started raising awareness and campaigning for the rights of transnational same-sex couples back in 2017. We also represented several clients to initiate relevant litigation in 2019.
Same-sex couples in which one partner is Taiwanese and the other is a foreign national of a country that does not yet recognize same-sex marriage are not permitted to marry, as per Article 46 of Taiwan’s “Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters Involving Foreign Elements” which is currently interpreted as prohibiting such marriages in Taiwan. We believe that this interpretation is illegal and unjust, and transnational same-sex couples have finally won two court cases this year! Nevertheless, the government still refuses to promptly modify its interpretation or to amend relevant laws and regulations. The Judicial Yuan has prepared a draft amendment of Article 46 of Taiwan’s “Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters Involving Foreign Elements” and sent it to the cabinet (Executive Yuan) back in January 2021, but the cabinet has not yet sent the bill to the Legislative Yuan (our parliament).
The threat of COVID-19 has made the situation of transnational same-sex partners even more precarious than usual. We need more people to stand with us in this fight for true marriage equality!
The Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights ("TAPCPR") was founded in 2009, and registered with the Ministry of the Interior in August 2012. We drafted three bills for “diverse family formation” in 2012, which laid the foundation for future legislation. In 2017, we represented Chi Chia-Wei and won the same-sex marriage case (“Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748”), making Taiwan the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage in May 2019.

Thanks TaiwanPlus report the news about transnational same sex marriage is illegal till now in Taiwan. (Start at 9:30)
We know this situation is ridiculous, as lawyer Hsu said, how can the people accept you can get marriage with American, but Japanese, I think no any heterosexual people can accept that, but it’s running in Taiwan same sex marriage.
I always remember when 17th May 2019, the raining day in Taipei, we all transnational gay couples stay outside the Taiwanese Legislature. The sky is shining real rainbow, everyone are acclaiming, but we are crying with holding the notice board which writing the slogan telling people we can’t get marry, please help us.
Tears without voice, we are fighting our human right till now, we get married, but I can't accept we are the only case, it is not fair to everyone, to every transnational same sex couples.
If my friends know the foreign media, please pass this new to them, let the world know how ridiculous in Taiwan’s same sex marriage situation, how the Ministry of the Interior force people be broken up because the nations.

Lawyers, legal fees, divorce, legal aid, legal trouble. All things you expect to hear if you are in America, however, in China it's a bit different. However, as a foreigner in China, it might seem that all odds are against you when you run into legal trouble. There is a huge "us vs. them" mentality in China, and in this video, I want to help you not be at the butt end of any legal situation you might run into.
As a foreigner, what can you expect when you're faced with some serious legal issues in China?
