The Supreme Court of Nepal has issued a landmark ruling ordering authorities to recognise a gay foreign spouse of a Nepali citizen and instructing the government to move towards the legalisation of same-sex marriage.

Building on the judgments from 2007 and 2017, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Pokhrel and Volz, stating that failure to recognise same-sex marriage violates the constitution in Nepal, as well as the country’s international human rights obligations. Moreover, the court ordered the Department of Immigration to immediately grant a non-tourist visa to Volz.

“Given this background, it appears that same-sex marriage should be considered a subject that is envisioned by the constitution and in accordance with the Constitution of Nepal, the decisions made by this Court, the report by the committee formed in accordance with the order by this Court, and the human rights treaties ratified by Nepal,” the ruling stated.
