Transgender woman, 40, becomes the first in Nepal to marry after wedding ceremony with 22-year-old boyfriend
Monika Shahi Nath and Ramesh Nath Yogi enjoyed a wedding ceremony this year
It is the first officially certified marriage involving a transgender person in Nepal
Nath was born a boy in a remote village but always knew that she was a woman
Many transgender people in Nepal still struggle to be open about who they are
A 40-year-old transgender woman and a 22-year-old man have become the first couple in Nepal to be formally married.
Monika Shahi Nath and Ramesh Nath Yogi enjoyed a wedding ceremony earlier in the year.
Born and raised as a boy in rural Nepal, Monika Shahi Nath never dreamed that one day she would be a bride, adored and accepted as a wife and daughter-in-law.
But she has made history, becoming Nepal's first transgender person to be issued with a marriage certificate by district officials - even though the country has no formal laws for such unions.
