LGBT rights in the Maldives
text:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are generally discriminated against in the Maldives. Maldivian law criminalizes homosexuality and prescribes criminal penalties for same-sex sexual conduct and relationships. The Penal Code of the Maldives invokes Islamic Shariah Law, which punishes homosexuality, usually through fines, prison sentences, and lashings. Despite this, homosexuality is rarely prosecuted, but it remains a social taboo where sexual orientation discrimination occurs
