Vasectomy needs permission from wife in Taiwan.

Abortions are medical procedures where I come from, and also in Taiwan. Coat hangers are for places where they are restricted.
If he’s carrying the baby, his choice over his body should be respected.

If single, you need to prove you are not married!
Thanks. That’s fucking insane.
My wife didn’t ask my permission to get her tubes tied (she’s Taiwanese, it was in a Taiwan hospital). During the birth of our third child- by cesarean- she just said “While you’re in there…”

Similar situation but with obvious differences… Unmarried foreign woman here. My doctor just had me write “I certify that I am not married,” and then sign my name in order to book a procedure that would otherwise require a husband’s permission.
Lol, when I first told her I wasn’t married, she said, “Oh, that’s very lucky, then! Because otherwise we would have to wait for you to get your husband’s signature.”
Guess I’m just a lucky gal!
I don’t know if your situation got resolved, but perhaps you could pass this on to your doc? Tell him some other foreigner you know just had to do it this way, etc.
Good luck!
