Today is the same day on the international counter-terrorism. The Legislative Yuan is also voting one by one. On the third reading, it has passed the "Special Act of Interpretation and Implementation of the Interpretation Act No. 748", which incorporates the rights and interests of gay marriage into legal protection. The bill clearly stipulates that two people with the same gender want to run a common life and establish a permanent and exclusive relationship. They can apply for the "marriage registration" to the household administration according to the interpretation of the dictator's interpretation of No. 748. Ming Ding, open the gay family's "follow-up adoption" rights and use the "Civil Law" related adoption regulations. After the third reading of the Legislative Yuan, more than 40,000 off-site support for the married people were happy to cry and cheer, and Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legally marry.

After the third reading of the "Interpretation and Implementation of the Interpretation of the Court of the Court", it must be implemented within 10 days after the announcement by the President Tsai Ing-wen. If the deadline of May 24 is to be followed by the Chief Justice, the President will next week. It is necessary to promulgate the Interpretation and Enforcement Act No. 748 of the Division of the Court.

The law on marriage that was adopted today is based on the version proposed by the Executive Yuan. However, the DPP and the forces of the times have proposed amendments to the motion. The Institute will vote on a case-by-case basis. In order to allow the marriage law to be passed on the third reading today, the DPP group proposed a amendment motion at the beginning of the morning meeting. The marriage law was listed as the only case in the hospital today, and the proposal was deleted. Sensitive words such as "same-sex marriage" are changed to allow same-sex persons to "register for marriage."

Articles 2 and 3 of the Act stipulate that two persons of the same sex may establish a permanent and intimate relationship for the purpose of managing a common life; a gay partner may register marriage with the household administration at the age of 18, It also obtained the same exclusive rights and obligations as the majority of Chinese laws and regulations.

Article 4 of the Act also clearly states that the establishment of its relationship (same-sex relationship) shall be in writing, and the signature of two or more witnesses shall be interpreted by both parties, in accordance with the interpretation of the Secretary of the Court, No. 748 and this Law. Handle the "marriage registration" to the household administration. After May 24 next week, the gay companion will be able to handle the formalities of the family in accordance with the Interpretation and Enforcement Act No. 748 of the Court of the Court.

In response to the adoption rights of comrades, the Act clearly states that when any one of the comrades adopts the other children of the other party, it is permitted to use the provisions of the Civil Law regarding adoption, in other words, to open up the rights of the comrades’ family to adopt the family, and the other party’s adoption of the other’s children is legal. Parent-child relationship, and the "common adoption" that the group had actively pursued before, because there is no consensus in the ruling and opposition parties, the current stage is not open at first, and it is necessary to wait for the implementation of the special law before starting the practice.

In terms of inheritance of property, the Act clearly stipulates that the property system of both parties is permitted to use the provisions of the marital property system in Section 4 of Chapter 2 of the Family Law. Both parties may, in accordance with the Civil Code, stipulate whether they should share property or separate property systems before marriage.

The marriage law has triggered social conflicts between the two poles, and it has been a debate and debate over the years with the opposite party. The Chief Justice of the Court explained in No. 748 of May 2017 that the Civil Law does not guarantee the same gender. It is necessary to establish a permanent and intimate relationship of intimacy and exclusivity for the purpose of managing a common life, in violation of the Constitution. The people's freedom of marriage and the right of the people's equality shall be completed by the relevant authorities within 2 years. If the law is not completed, the marriage registration shall be handled with the household administration authority in accordance with the provisions of the marriage chapter and signed by two or more witnesses. . In the 12th case of the referendum passed last year, more than 7 million people voted for the consent to protect the same-sex business permanent life rights in the form of "the Civil Law." The government must respect the people's referendum and formulate special laws to protect the rights and interests of comrades.

To this end, in March this year, the Executive Yuan introduced the draft law on the law of interpretation of the Interpretation and Enforcement Act No. 748 of the Court of Justice. At that time, the draft explicitly adopted the term "same-sex marriage". The anti-same groups were not willing to show weakness and were still actively in the Legislative Yuan. Lobbying part of the legislature, and the Kuomintang legislator Lai Shizhen proposed "the 12th law of the referendum", the content of the bill will be the same as "same-sex family." Some Green Committees believe that same-sex marriage is too sensitive. In addition, Lin Yihua and others led the "Implementation of the Interpretation No. 748 of the Court and the 12th Case of the Referendum" and called it "same-sex combination." After several consultations between the ruling and opposition parties, the various party groups have no consensus on the name, the content of the bill, and the adoption regulations, and they need to be referred to the hospital today for voting.

In the final stage of the voting of the Legislative Yuan today, the ruling party group issued a Class A mobilization, defending the versions supported by each other, and working hard to make the third reading of the case. The DPP group decided to make the dowry bill the only one in the hospital today. In the case, the shift was stationed at the door of the venue at 6 am yesterday; the same group and the anti-same group gathered tens of thousands of people on Qingdao East Road and Jinan Road in the morning, paying attention to the voting dynamics.

The ruling and opposition legislators said privately that for this marriage bill, the pressure is very high. Both the blue and green parties do not sacrifice party discipline today and respect the free will of the legislators. Some DPP legislators repeatedly said before the vote that "it is holding a bomb to vote today." The conservatives in the south-central voters are under great pressure. Supporting the government version may cause the vote to be lost. To this end, the President of the Executive Yuan Su Shichang and Vice President Chen Qimai made a special report on the administrative and legislative coordination meeting with the Green Committee yesterday, and agreed that the Democratic Progressive Party Committee should conduct "fine adjustments" and hope to win the maximum support of the party's internal legislators. President Tsai Ing-wen and Su Shichang also posted a post on Facebook, and I sincerely hope that the Green Committee can support the government version.

The House of Commons jointly issued a ticket, and it also received results in today's vote. In the name of the bill, Lin Yihua did not support his version, but instead supported the government version; in the second part, Lin Yihua also supported the government version. Some of the regional legislators who were still swaying also agreed to the amendments to the DPP and the government version at the voting moment today.

Although the Kuomintang has its own version, many young blue-party committees believe that marriage is a value orientation, and even in the key provisions, the green camp version is rarely supported. Today's vote, in addition to the overall mobilization of the blue and green sides, the five legislators of the Times Power Party were also present, playing one of the key forces supporting the version of the government.
