The Civil Partnership Bill is facing a delay as government whips once again questioned its necessity and requested another round of focus group interviews.
Chompoonute Nakornthap, policy adviser to the Social Development and Human Security Ministry, revealed her team was asked to review the bill.
In July last year, the cabinet said it would pass the bill to government whips for further consideration. However, the whips recently asked the bill's sponsors to review its content, questioning its necessity and the sponsors' actual intentions, while also addressing religious sensitivity.

After the military coup in their native country on Feb 1, many Myanmar citizens working in Thailand say they are reluctant to go back home, but a student said he and his friends are determined to continue studying and later return to their homeland.
A 45-year-old Myanmar migrant worker, known only as Macho, said she was concerned over the fate of her country, as she believes other nations will boycott Myanmar resulting in a reduction of investment and loss of employment opportunities.

Urgent measures are needed to help students in provinces under maximum Covid-19 controls catch up on their studies, academics say.
Sompong Jitradub, a lecturer with Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Education, urged the government to come up with a plan to help these students.
"Since the Covid-19 outbreak, schools in Thailand have been forced to stop providing in-person education for about 90 days, or about 40%, of the academic year. As a result, the quality of education for many students has deteriorated," he said.
