 According to the existing "Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters Involving Foreign Elements" (), Taiwanese citizens can only marry foreign same-sex spouses who are citizens of countries where same-sex marriage is legal.Two other bills were submitted by conservative lawmakers (from both KMT and DPP), who sought to refer to the partnerships as "same-sex family relationships" or "same-sex unions" rather than same-sex marriage.These bills were not put to a vote.
