A Hong Kong court, on Tuesday (Oct 24), banished a government plea to outlaw the inheritance rights of same-sex married couples, stating that the denial of such requests is “an unacceptably harsh burden”.
The ruling by Hong Kong’s Court of Appeal, as per activists, is a legal victory for campaigners for LGBT rights in the global financial hub in 2023. The activists say that this trend could encourage other jurisdictions in Asia, like Singapore and Japan, to review their stand on inclusion.
