Can a boy marry a boy in Japan?

This article examines the current legal status of same-sex marriage in Japan and whether or not it is possible for two boys to marry each other. It explains that same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in Japan and there are no laws that protect individuals from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
