		Taiwan's largest city Taipei serves as the provisional capital of Republic of China while Jhongsing Village in central Taiwan near the city Taichung is the capital of Taiwan province.

	Taiwan Divorce, Prenuptial, Separation, International Family Law
		Many in Taiwan -- and they are by no means all male -- think that lawmakers should have had better things to do with their time than legislating on issues more usually associated with cranks and the lunatic fringes of feminism.
		The time was when a philandering husband in Taiwan might have a fling with a bar girl, or even keep a mistress, but the very fact that he continued to live in the family home with his wife gave her some control.
		Another problem with the unreformed law was that in Taiwan a husband's wishes took precedence over those of his wife in any dispute about the division of jointly owned property and husbands were not obliged to hand over anything from the sale of such property.

	Burkean Canuck: C-38, the Civil Marriage Act
		C-38, the Civil Marriage Act, here, being considered at Third Reading, today, in the House of Commons is likely to pass in the House, tonight.
		Moreover, now that the institution of marriage has to serve additional functions (in addition to bridging the social gap that seperates the genders, it now links people of the same gender together), it cannot serve its previous functions as well as it did before.
		I agree that the legalization of same-sex marriage is a recent change in those countries and I agree that the institution of marriage has transformed considerably over the last century (in North America and Europe anyway).

	SOIN - Live Issues
		The marriage route was the clear choice of gay rights attorneys and the three gay couples who filed the lawsuit in 1997 that led to the Vermont court ruling in December 1999.
		Civil unions, as established in Vermont, offer gay couples who register with the state the rights and benefits of marriage under state law, such as the right to jointly file state tax returns, make medical decisions for a partner, and inherit property.
		With a proposed constitutional amendment seeking to ban gay marriage looming in the background, leaders of at least 16 national and state gay civil rights groups are scheduled to meet in Washington on Sept. 8 to map strategies for opposing the amendment and advancing the cause of same-sex marriage.

	Taiwan - Economic analysis of government policies, investment climate and political risk.
		Taiwan is the fourth least-corrupt country in Asia, after Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, according to an annual global corruption report released by Transparency International (TI) on October 20.
		Taiwan ranks 35th in the TI's 2004 Global Corruption Report on the transparency of political finances in 146 countries and areas around the world.
		Taiwan’s national security lies on three dimensions: politically, Taiwan’s sovereign status dispels China’s claim that invading Taiwan is China’s domestic matter; militarily, Taiwan has self-defense capabilities with the support of the U.S.; and economically, Taiwan can afford continuing democratization, human rights improvement, foreign aids, and purchase of defense weaponry.

	Intercountry Adoption Taiwan
		The third step is to register the adoption at the Taiwan Registrar's office submitting the original court ruling, final ruling, and the power of attorney certified at the Taiwan Foreign Affairs Police Station at the Taiwan Registrar's office.
		It is generally faster for the child to obtain a Taiwan passport through the biological parent(s) before the adoption in order to prevent additional delay cause by different spellings of the child's name.
		Adoptive parent(s) can apply for a Taiwan passport for the child at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by submitting the household registration, and, if the adoptive parent(s) are not going to appear, the guardian's passport and power of attorney.

	American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Asks Judge to Rule for Marriage Equality in New York State
		NEW YORK - Saying that "tradition" is not a valid reason to prevent same-sex couples from marrying, the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union today formally asked a New York judge to strike down the state's ban on marriage for same-sex couples.
		If it were, we would still treat women as the property of their husbands, still insist that people whose marriages had failed could not remarry, and still allow the state to tell married couples that they can't use contraceptives."
		The couples are represented by the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, Art Eisenberg and Palyn Hung of the New York Civil Liberties Union, and ACLU Cooperating Attorneys Roberta Kaplan and Andrew Ehrlich of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, LLP.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - -
		If two men are married, then marriage as a public act is clearly no longer related at all to generativity, and the government declares as well it has no further interest in whether children are connected to their own mom and dad.
		Marriage’s unique status at law helps draw clear public boundaries that distinguish between those who are married and who is not, allowing the more important actors who support the social institution to do their work.
		Existing scientific data thus suggests that the law of marriage protects children to the extent it increases the likelihood that children will be born to and raised by their own mother and father in a reasonably harmonious union.
