YALA: -- The ranger regiment was prompted to reconsider their regulation that all rangers must remain single after two female rangers from the south of Thailand made an appeal to their superiors to get married to one another.

Sgt. Naphat Multakorn, 34, made an official request to her superior officer, Col. Sithisak Jenbanjong, chief of the Rangers Regiment 41 in Yala, seeking permission to marry her long-time partner, Wanida Thosawa, 26.

Currently, same sex marriages are not legally recognized under Thai law and it was not revealed if the couple hoped to travel abroad to be wed.

Your comment doesn't make sense.

The change requested would have been made to a regulation "that all rangers must remain single," not for a change to any national law.
