After many years of fighting for the right to legally married. In 2001, the Netherlands became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage, followed by Belgium and parts of Canada in the years since.
        Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. Thailand is ASEAN's first country to pass equal marriage laws. There are currently 39 countries that have legalized same-sex marriage with certification for the entire country or specific areas in the country.
        Thailand's marriage equality law will take effect 120 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette. As a result, same-sex couples have the right to engage and marry, register marriage-divorce, manage assets acquired during marriage, inherit state benefits and welfare as a married couple, and consent to medical treatment, including the right to create a family and adopt children.
