From January 1, 2015, same-sex couples can marry.

According to the law, same-sex couples can still marry, but they will not be protected by law in the event of a dispute.

According to the amended Marriage and Family Law of 2014, from January 1, 2015, marriage between people of the same sex will no longer be prohibited. However, this law still stipulates that "marriage between people of the same sex is not recognized."

In other words, same-sex couples can still get married, but they will not be protected by law in the event of a dispute.

However, the 2014 Law still stipulates that "marriage between people of the same sex is not recognized" (Clause 2, Article 8). Therefore, same-sex couples can still marry, but they will not be protected in the event of a dispute.

According to this law, the minimum marriage age for both men and women must be 18 for women and 20 for men (previously it was only stated as 18 for women and 20 for men).

The law also permits surrogacy for humanitarian purposes; however, the surrogate mother must be a close relative of either the wife or the husband requesting the surrogacy.
