Taiwan is a signatory to CEDAW. The new Taichung City bus fare rules, idoor.taichung.gov.tw , do not treat Taichung Alien Permanent Resident (APRC) women as a person. Not only do they require marriage, but they even coincidentally require that the person they marry must be able to vote in Taichung elections. Taichung APRC nuns etc. are not married and thus not qualified, no matter what that international treaty says.
