US EditionHong Kong government proposes system to recognise same-sex partnerships
HONG KONG, JUL 2 – The proposal grants limited healthcare and after-death rights only to same-sex couples married overseas, despite growing public support reaching 60% in 2023, activists say it falls short of equality.
- The Hong Kong government announced a proposal for legislation to recognize limited rights for same-sex couples married abroad, in response to a court ruling.
- The proposal includes healthcare-related rights and rights concerning deceased persons' bodies, but excludes broader legal recognition.
- Adult couples must be lawfully married abroad, with at least one partner being a Hong Kong resident to qualify.
- Jerome Yau of Hong Kong Marriage Equality criticized the proposal, stating eligibility restrictions are 'inherently unfair and could lead to further litigation.
