Nepal is the most open country in South Asia for LGBT rights and has recognized LGBT rights in higher standards. The Nepalese government, following the monarchy that ended in 2007, legalised homosexuality in 2007 along with the introduction of several new law sets. A new Nepalese constitution, approved by the Constituent Assembly on 16 September 2015, includes several provisions pertaining to the rights of LGBT people: * the right to have their preferred gender display on their identity cards * a prohibition on discrimination by the State * eligibility for special protections that may be provided by law * substitution of gender-neutral terms for the previous "male", "female", "son", and "daughter" * the right of access to state process and public services for gender and sexual minorities Based on the ruling of the Supreme Court of Nepal in late 2008, the government was looking into legalising same-sex marriage. According to several sources, the new constitution was expected to include it. However, the new constitution appears not to address that topic explicitly.〔 ==Criminal law== Before the time of the Democratic Republic, private, homosexual relations between consenting adults was a crime, with a maximum punishment of two years in prison. Cross-dressing was also illegal under various laws against public immorality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LGBT rights in Nepal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
