(VOVworld) – A representative of the Ministry of Justice said the social view and awareness on homosexuality has changed compared to 2000 when the Marriage and Family Law was approved.

The revised Marriage and Family Law abolishing the regulation on same-sex marriage prohibition has helped reduce social discrimination. But it’s necessary to have regulations to manage the legal consequences of cohabitation. The recognition of same-sex marriage needs appropriate procedures.
The revised Law said the government does not recognize the marriages of same-sex couples. Their cohabitation will be handled under the Civil Code and relevant laws. One such law holds that the person who gives birth to a baby is its mother.
