Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The<\/span> Supreme<\/span> Court<\/span> received<\/span> petitions<\/span> to<\/span> allow<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> under<\/span> the<\/span> Special<\/span> Marriage<\/span> Act.<\/span> The<\/span> court<\/span> sent<\/span> notices<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> government<\/span> and<\/span> took<\/span> over<\/span> similar<\/span> cases<\/span> that<\/span> were<\/span> already<\/span> in<\/span> other<\/span> high<\/span> courts.<\/span> In<\/span> response<\/span> to<\/span> it,<\/span> the<\/span> government<\/span> filed<\/span> an<\/span> affidavit<\/span> expressing<\/span> its<\/span> view<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

At<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> time,<\/span> the<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Supreme<\/span> Court<\/span> of<\/span> India<\/span> has<\/span> referred<\/span> the<\/span> petitions<\/span> seeking<\/span> legal<\/span> validation<\/span> of<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> five-judge<\/span> constitutional<\/span> bench<\/span> for<\/span> adjudication. Same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> sensitive<\/span> issue<\/span> in<\/span> India,<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> potential<\/span> to<\/span> pose<\/span> legal,<\/span> socioeconomic,<\/span> and<\/span> ethical<\/span> concerns.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is same-sex marriage?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> legal<\/span> union<\/span> between<\/span> two<\/span> people<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> gender.<\/span> The<\/span> government<\/span> usually<\/span> recognises<\/span> it<\/span> and<\/span> grants<\/span> them<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> legal<\/span> rights<\/span> and<\/span> protections<\/span> as<\/span> heterosexual<\/span> couples.<\/span> It<\/span> is<\/span> also<\/span> known<\/span> as<\/span> homosexual<\/span> marriage<\/span> or<\/span> gay<\/span> marriage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or sometimes questioning), and others. The “plus” represents other sexual identities including pansexual and Two-Spirit.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What are the arguments in favour of legalising same-sex marriages?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

There<\/span> are<\/span> several<\/span> arguments<\/span> in<\/span> favour<\/span> of<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> in<\/span> India:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Providing Equality<\/strong>:<\/span> Legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> is<\/span> crucial<\/span> in<\/span> promoting<\/span> equality<\/span> and<\/span> non-discrimination.<\/span> All<\/span> individuals,<\/span> regardless<\/span> of<\/span> their<\/span> sexual<\/span> orientation<\/span> or<\/span> gender<\/span> identity,<\/span> should<\/span> have<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> marry<\/span> and<\/span> have<\/span> their<\/span> relationships<\/span> recognised<\/span> under<\/span> the<\/span> law.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is<\/span> supported<\/span> by<\/span> Articles<\/span> 14<\/span> and<\/span> 15<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> constitution,<\/span> which<\/span> prohibits<\/span> discrimination<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> basis<\/span> of<\/span> sex.<\/span> The<\/span> Supreme<\/span> Court<\/span> has<\/span> even<\/span> interpreted<\/span> “sex”<\/span> to<\/span> include<\/span> “sexual<\/span> orientation”<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> Navtej<\/span> Singh<\/span> Johar<\/span> (2018)<\/span> case.<\/span> Thus,<\/span> denying<\/span> same-sex<\/span> couples<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> marry<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> clear<\/span> case<\/span> of<\/span> discrimination<\/span> based<\/span> on<\/span> sexual<\/span> orientation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ensure Right to <\/strong>privacy<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> privacy<\/span> encompasses<\/span> the<\/span> ability<\/span> to<\/span> make<\/span> choices<\/span> regarding<\/span> one’s<\/span> body<\/span> and<\/span> intimate<\/span> relationships. This <\/span>applies<\/span> to<\/span> same-sex<\/span> couples<\/span> as<\/span> well.<\/span> The<\/span> Supreme<\/span> Court’s<\/span> Puttaswamy<\/span> verdict<\/span> in<\/span> 2017<\/span> acknowledged<\/span> this<\/span> as<\/span> part<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> life<\/span> and<\/span> liberty<\/span> under<\/span> Article<\/span> 21<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Constitution.<\/span> This<\/span> right<\/span> should<\/span> be<\/span> respected<\/span> without<\/span> any<\/span> discrimination<\/span> or<\/span> persecution<\/span> towards<\/span> individuals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enlarge Human <\/strong>Rights<\/strong>:<\/span> Same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> human<\/span> rights<\/span> issue.<\/span> The<\/span> United<\/span> Nations<\/span> has<\/span> recognised<\/span> the<\/span> importance<\/span> of<\/span> LGBT <\/span>(<\/span>lesbian,<\/span> gay,<\/span> bisexual,<\/span> and<\/span> transgender<\/span>)<\/span> rights<\/span> and<\/span> has<\/span> called<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> protection<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> human<\/span> rights<\/span> of<\/span> LGBT<\/span> individuals,<\/span> including<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> marry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love and <\/strong>commitment<\/strong>:<\/span> Same-sex<\/span> couples<\/span> are<\/span> just<\/span> as<\/span> capable<\/span> of<\/span> loving<\/span> and<\/span> committing<\/span> to<\/span> each<\/span> other<\/span> as<\/span> heterosexual<\/span> couples.<\/span> They<\/span> deserve<\/span> to<\/span> have<\/span> their<\/span> love<\/span> and<\/span> commitment<\/span> recognized<\/span> and<\/span> protected<\/span> under<\/span> the<\/span> law.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Provide Legal <\/strong>protection<\/strong>:<\/span> Legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> would<\/span> provide<\/span> legal<\/span> protection<\/span> and<\/span> recognition<\/span> for<\/span> same-sex<\/span> couples,<\/span> including<\/span> access<\/span> to<\/span> benefits<\/span> such<\/span> as<\/span> inheritance,<\/span> joint<\/span> ownership<\/span> of<\/span> property,<\/span> and<\/span> healthcare.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Promote Social <\/strong>acceptance<\/strong>:<\/span> Legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> would<\/span> promote<\/span> social<\/span> acceptance<\/span> of<\/span> LGBT<\/span> individuals<\/span> and<\/span> relationships,<\/span> and<\/span> help<\/span> reduce<\/span> discrimination<\/span> and<\/span> stigma.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the arguments against legalising same-sex marriages?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some<\/span> arguments<\/span> against<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> in<\/span> India<\/span> include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Against religious and cultural <\/strong>beliefs<\/strong>:<\/span> As<\/span> different<\/span> from<\/span> many<\/span> liberal<\/span> democracies,<\/span> in<\/span> India,<\/span> aspects<\/span> of<\/span> marriage,<\/span> succession<\/span> and<\/span> adoption<\/span> are<\/span> governed<\/span> by<\/span> religious<\/span> personal<\/span> laws.<\/span> As<\/span> far<\/span> as<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> concerned,<\/span> the<\/span> Hindu,<\/span> Christian<\/span> and<\/span> Shariat<\/span> laws,<\/span> in<\/span> addition<\/span> to<\/span> customary<\/span> law,<\/span> govern<\/span> religious<\/span> marriages with heterosexual couples alone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Against the definition of <\/strong>marriage<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> traditional<\/span> definition<\/span> of<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> between<\/span> a<\/span> man<\/span> and<\/span> a<\/span> woman,<\/span> and<\/span> changing<\/span> this<\/span> definition<\/span> could<\/span> have<\/span> negative<\/span> consequences<\/span> for<\/span> society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marriage is a matter of <\/strong>policy<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> Union<\/span> government,<\/span> in<\/span> its<\/span> affidavit<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> Supreme<\/span> Court,<\/span> has<\/span> argued<\/span> that<\/span> recognizing<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> could<\/span> cause<\/span> havoc<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> system<\/span> of<\/span> personal<\/span> laws.<\/span> The<\/span> government<\/span> has<\/span> also<\/span> claimed<\/span> that<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> matter<\/span> of<\/span> policy<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> decided<\/span> by<\/span> Parliament<\/span> and<\/span> the<\/span> executive<\/span> alone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children’s<\/span> rights:<\/span> Some<\/span> argue<\/span> that<\/span> children<\/span> are<\/span> better<\/span> off<\/span> being<\/span> raised<\/span> by<\/span> opposite-sex<\/span> parents,<\/span> and<\/span> that<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> would<\/span> harm<\/span> the<\/span> welfare<\/span> of<\/span> children.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Has legal <\/strong><\/a>complications<\/strong><\/a>:<\/span> Legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> could<\/span> lead<\/span> to<\/span> legal<\/span> complications<\/span>.<\/span> For<\/span> example,<\/span> issues<\/span> related<\/span> to<\/span> adoption<\/span> and<\/span> child<\/span> custody<\/span> still<\/span> be<\/span> there. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create social <\/strong>unrest<\/strong>:<\/span> S<\/span>ame-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> widely<\/span> accepted<\/span> in<\/span> Indian<\/span> society<\/span> and<\/span> legalising<\/span> it<\/span> could<\/span> create<\/span> social<\/span> unrest<\/span> and<\/span> have<\/span> the\u00a0potential<\/span> to<\/span> disrupt<\/span> social<\/span> norms<\/span> and<\/span> values.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the challenges in\u202flegalising same-sex marriages?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There<\/span> are<\/span> several<\/span> challenges<\/span> in<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> in<\/span> India,<\/span> including:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legal <\/strong>hurdles<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> current<\/span> legal<\/span> framework<\/span> in<\/span> India<\/span> does<\/span> not<\/span> recognise<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages,<\/span> and<\/span> amending<\/span> the<\/span> existing<\/span> laws<\/span> could<\/span> be<\/span> a<\/span> lengthy<\/span> and<\/span> difficult<\/span> process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Absence of SC’s direction in civil rights <\/strong>issues<\/strong>:<\/span> In<\/span> 2018,<\/span> the<\/span> Supreme<\/span> Court<\/span> ruled<\/span> that<\/span> being<\/span> gay<\/span> is<\/span> no<\/span> longer<\/span> illegal,<\/span> but<\/span> they<\/span> did<\/span> not<\/span> talk<\/span> about<\/span> civil<\/span> rights<\/span> issues.<\/span> As<\/span> a<\/span> result,<\/span> while<\/span> same-sex<\/span> partnerships<\/span> are<\/span> legal,<\/span> civil<\/span> rights<\/span> like<\/span> marriage,<\/span> inheritance,<\/span> and<\/span> adoption<\/span> are<\/span> not<\/span> guaranteed<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> lesbian,<\/span> gay,<\/span> bisexual,<\/span> transgender,<\/span> queer,<\/span> and<\/span> intersex<\/span> populations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cultural and religious <\/strong>attitudes<\/strong>:<\/span> India<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> culturally<\/span> and<\/span> religiously<\/span> diverse<\/span> country,<\/span> and<\/span> many<\/span> people<\/span> still<\/span> hold<\/span> conservative<\/span> beliefs<\/span> about<\/span> same-sex<\/span> relationships,<\/span> which<\/span> could<\/span> make<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> a<\/span> challenging<\/span> task.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lack of political <\/strong>will<\/strong>:<\/span> Some<\/span> politicians<\/span> may<\/span> be<\/span> hesitant<\/span> to<\/span> support<\/span> the<\/span> legalisation<\/span> of<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages<\/span> due<\/span> to<\/span> fear<\/span> of<\/span> losing<\/span> support<\/span> from<\/span> conservative<\/span> voters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social stigma and discrimination<\/strong>:<\/span> Despite<\/span> efforts<\/span> to<\/span> promote<\/span> LGBT<\/span> rights,<\/span> many<\/span> LGBT<\/span> individuals<\/span> still<\/span> face<\/span> discrimination<\/span> and<\/span> stigma<\/span> in<\/span> Indian<\/span> society.<\/span> This<\/span> could<\/span> create<\/span> barriers<\/span> to<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Public <\/strong>opinion<\/strong>:<\/span> While<\/span> attitudes<\/span> towards<\/span> LGBT<\/span> rights<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> changing<\/span> in<\/span> India,<\/span> many<\/span> people<\/span> still<\/span> do<\/span> not<\/span> support<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages.<\/span> This<\/span> could<\/span> make<\/span> it<\/span> difficult<\/span> for<\/span> politicians<\/span> to<\/span> pass<\/span> legislation<\/span> legalising<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What should be done?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recognition by the <\/strong>government<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> government<\/span> needs<\/span> to<\/span> recognise<\/span> that<\/span> denying<\/span> same-sex<\/span> couples<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> marry<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> violation<\/span> of<\/span> their<\/span> constitutional<\/span> rights<\/span> to<\/span> equality<\/span> and<\/span> privacy.<\/span> The<\/span> government<\/span> needs<\/span> to<\/span> acknowledge<\/span> that<\/span> the<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> marry<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> just<\/span> a<\/span> policy<\/span> matter<\/span> but<\/span> an<\/span> important<\/span> legal<\/span> and<\/span> social<\/span> issue<\/span> that<\/span> requires<\/span> attention<\/span> and<\/span> action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amendment in the Special Marriage <\/strong>Act<\/strong>:<\/span> This<\/span> will<\/span> require<\/span> changes<\/span> in<\/span> language<\/span> to<\/span> make<\/span> it<\/span> gender-neutral<\/span> and<\/span> remove<\/span> references<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> terms<\/span> “husband”<\/span> and<\/span> “wife.”<\/span> The<\/span> courts<\/span> can<\/span> either<\/span> accept<\/span> this<\/span> reinterpretation<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Act<\/span> or<\/span> declare<\/span> a<\/span> right<\/span> to<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> and<\/span> direct<\/span> the<\/span> state<\/span> to<\/span> recognise<\/span> them<\/span> under<\/span> the<\/span> Act.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expand the institution of marriage<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> reform<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> Hindu<\/span> Marriage<\/span> Act,<\/span> 1955<\/span> to<\/span> include<\/span> self-respect<\/span> marriages<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> significant<\/span> step<\/span> towards<\/span> dismantling<\/span> caste-based<\/span> practices<\/span> within<\/span> the<\/span> institution<\/span> of<\/span> marriage. Likewise,<\/span> it<\/span> is<\/span> crucial<\/span> to<\/span> recognise<\/span> same-sex\u00a0marriage<\/span> and<\/span> expand<\/span> the<\/span> institution<\/span> of<\/span> marriage<\/span> to<\/span> include<\/span> all<\/span> gender<\/span> and<\/span> sexual<\/span> identities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Address the concerns of <\/strong>opponents<\/strong>:<\/span> The<\/span> government<\/span> needs<\/span> to<\/span> address<\/span> the<\/span> concerns<\/span> raised<\/span> by<\/span> opponents<\/span> of<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage.<\/span> The<\/span> argument<\/span> that<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> disrupts<\/span> the<\/span> sanctity<\/span> of<\/span> marriage<\/span> is<\/span> a<\/span> religious<\/span> one<\/span> and<\/span> does<\/span> not<\/span> apply<\/span> to<\/span> secular<\/span> laws<\/span> like<\/span> the<\/span> Special<\/span> Marriage<\/span> Act.<\/span> Similarly,<\/span> the<\/span> argument<\/span> that<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage<\/span> goes<\/span> against<\/span> prevailing<\/span> social<\/span> values<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> a<\/span> valid<\/span> reason<\/span> to<\/span> deny<\/span> constitutional<\/span> rights<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> minority<\/span> group.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Education and awareness campaigns<\/strong>:<\/span> There<\/span> needs<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> a<\/span> shift<\/span> in<\/span> societal<\/span> attitudes<\/span> towards<\/span> same-sex<\/span> marriage.<\/span> Education<\/span> and<\/span> awareness<\/span> campaigns<\/span> need<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> launched<\/span> to<\/span> help<\/span> people<\/span> understand<\/span> that<\/span> same-sex<\/span> relationships<\/span> are<\/span> natural<\/span> and<\/span> normal.<\/span> The<\/span> media<\/span> can<\/span> play<\/span> an<\/span> important<\/span> role<\/span> in<\/span> promoting<\/span> positive<\/span> representations<\/span> of<\/span> LGBTQ+<\/span> individuals<\/span> and<\/span> couples.<\/span><\/p>\n
