How has society’s view on queer relationships changed in India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wedding Example:<\/strong> Manisha and Dimple, two women, celebrated their wedding in Bathinda with the support of family and friends.<\/p>\n

Parental Viewpoint:<\/strong> Manisha’s mother voiced that people should respect individual choices, reflecting a broader sentiment.<\/p>\n

Spread of Acceptance:<\/strong> This positive sentiment is not limited to cities but is echoed in towns, villages, and small neighborhoods across India.<\/p>\n

Next Generation’s View:<\/strong> Aditi Anand and Susan Dias, who petitioned for marriage equality, shared that their son and his peers are growing up devoid of homophobia.<\/p>\n

Media Influence:<\/strong> Movies and TV shows like “Made in Heaven” and “Badhaai Do” highlight LGBTQI+ stories, influencing societal perspectives.<\/p>\n

Supportive Data:<\/strong> A Pew Research Centre survey found that 53% of Indians now favor marriage equality.<\/p>\n

What does the Supreme Court say about marriage equality?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Discussion on Marriage Equality:<\/strong> The Supreme Court deliberated on the topic of marriage equality on October 17.<\/p>\n

Decision Deferred:<\/strong> Instead of making a definitive ruling, the Supreme Court passed the responsibility of deciding on marriage equality to Parliament.<\/p>\n

Reflecting Society’s Stance:<\/strong> The court’s discussion on marriage equality comes at a time when societal views are evolving. For instance, Manisha and Dimple’s wedding, supported by family and friends, showcases this shift.<\/p>\n

How have big social changes historically happened?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Two-Way Flow:<\/strong> Big social changes can stem from both institutions to society and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Institutional Influence<\/strong>: Laws, judicial interventions, and decisions from bodies like the Supreme Court have historically guided societal norms, such as temple entry rights and the abolition of untouchability.<\/p>\n

Societal Influence:<\/strong> Society’s evolving customs and traditions can lead institutions to change or create new laws.<\/p>\n

Example: The decriminalization of non-heterosexual relationships in India was influenced by changing societal views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
