It's no longer illegal to "marry" your same sex partner in Vietnam.

Gay Star News reports:


Vietnam has legalized gay weddings. The south-eastern Asian country has officially allowed same-sex couples to organize weddings and have the right to live together. While the unions won't be legally recognized as marriages, gay rights campaigners believe it is a large small step on the path to equal rights. The Government has taken this step after two fines were handed out to a gay and lesbian couple who chose to have a marriage ceremony in the southern provinces of Kien Giang and Ca Mau.

So while it's no longer illegal to marry your partner in Vietnam, the marriage has no force of law.
