LGBTQ rights in Sri Lanka

Article 365 of the Sri Lankan Penal Code, which dates from the time of colonial British Ceylon, criminalizes sexual acts deemed "against the order of nature." Under the applicable legal framework, individuals found in violation of these specific provisions may be subject to a maximum sentence of ten years in prison, in addition to facing substantial monetary penalties as determined by the court. The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has ruled favourably for decriminalization and has agreed that any imposition of penalties are incompatible with the current times, but does not have the authority to invalidate laws, acts, or governmental actions.
