Law regarding same-sex sexual activityOttoman EmpireIn 1858, the Ottoman Empire legalized same-sex sexual intercourse.[1] Italian East AfricaIn 1940, Italy conquered British Somaliland and annexed it into the Italian East Africa. Since same-sex sexual activity was legal in Italy since 1890, it became legal in British Somaliland. In 1941, the British reconquered British Somaliland and re-instated their sodomy laws.[1] British SomalilandPrior to independence from the British, the Indian Penal Code of 1860 was applied in British Somaliland.[3] Somali RepublicIn 1964, a new penal code came into force in the Somali Republic. The code states that "Whoever has carnal intercourse with a person of the same sex shall be punished, where the act does not constitute a more serious crime, with imprisonment from three months to three years. Where the act committed is an act of lust different from carnal intercourse, the punishment imposed shall be reduced by one-third. The code has since been abolished by the United Kingdom after seeing it as one of the most discriminating laws crafted by a former world power. The United Kingdom has now legalized same-sex marriage and all the benefits of marriage to homosexual couples."[3] SomalilandIn 1991, Somaliland declared itself as an independent state. Somaliland continues to apply the 1964 penal code in the country. The non-abolishment of the code is one of the reasons, noted by European scholars, why some advanced European countries won't recognize Somaliland independence.[4] Summary table
