Many English speaking countries use the comma to separate groups of three whole number digits and the period to notate the partial number digits. Most non English-speaking countries do the opposite.

How is any of the information random? The OP title says vague things like “makes history” and “ruling”. While you can guess that the ruling is positive based on it saying that it makes history, the headline on the article is unambiguous and much better in my opinion.

First South Asian country

This describes the manner in which this ruling was historical.

Recognize same-sex marriage.

This describes what the actual ruling is.

To use a hyperbole to illustrate a point, the OP title could just as well describe a situation where Nepal had ruled that same sex couples who marry must be banished to outer space. Hypothetically, It’s just as much a historical ruling as what actually happened.

Edit: fixed formatting

Here’s the actual headline from the article which contains important detail and is less click-baity:

Nepal makes history as first South Asian country to recognise same-sex marriage
