However, in recent decades, there has been a significant increase in marital breakdowns and acceptance of cohabitation, leading to a lack of paternal role models for many young men.<\/p>\n<p>Despite governments acknowledging this issue, they have been hesitant to take effective measures, citing diversity and tolerance as reasons for inaction.<\/p>\n<p>Same-sex &#8220;marriage&#8221; doesn&#8217;t make things better, especially when children are involved.\u00a0 They become subjects in a new social experiment where deliberately depriving them of a parent of the opposite sex is considered acceptable.<\/p>\n<h2>Leave Nepal alone!<\/h2>\n<p>Christianity is the fifth most practised faith in Nepal, with the 2011 census indicating 375,699 Christians, approximately 1.4% of the population.
