LGBT rights in Malawi
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Malawi face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.
The Penal Code prohibits "carnal knowledge against the order of nature", attempts to commit "carnal knowledge against the order of nature", and acts of "gross indecency". However, in November 2012, President Joyce Banda suspended all laws that criminalized homosexuality. In July 2014, the Justice Minister announced that Malawi would no longer arrest people for same-sex sexual activity and review its anti-gay laws.〔http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/07/15/malawi-to-stop-arresting-people-for-having-gay-sex/〕〔http://76crimes.com/2014/07/14/its-official-no-more-malawi-arrests-under-anti-gay-laws/〕
In late December 2009, a trans woman, Tiwonge Chimbalanga, and a man, Steven Monjeza, were arrested after holding a traditional "engagement" party. On 18 May 2010, they were found guilty of having committed "unnatural offenses" and "indecent practices between males".〔("Malawi Gay Couple face trial", ''BBC News'', 29 December 2009 )〕〔("Malawi gay couple found guilty of 'unnatural acts' and 'gross indecency'", ''Pinknews'', reported by Jessica Geen, 18 May 2010 )〕〔("Malawi court convicts gay couple", ''BBC News'', 17 May 2010 )〕 On 29 May 2010, then President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned both individuals.〔("Malawi pardons jailed gay couple", ''BBC News'', 29 May 2010 )〕
On 17 April 2015, The Marriage, Divorce and Family Relations Law came into force and banned all same-sex marriages and unions. While the law was praised for raising the minimum age of heterosexual marriages from 16 to 18, it was at the same time condemned for the exclusion of homosexual couples and for its language stating that one's gender is assigned at birth.〔 (Malawi Gay Rights: New Marriage Law Further Criminalizes LGBT Relationships And Identities, Group Says )〕 The new law does not allow people who have undergone gender reassignment surgery to marry someone of that person's prior gender and also draws comparisons of gay sex to rape and sexual harassment.〔 (Malawi’s new anti-LGBT law comes into effect )〕
