Indian Culture & Law Do Not Recognize Same-Sex Marriages 🏳️‍🌈


Despite the Supreme Court decriminalising homosexuality in India, same-sex marriage is still not allowed. A public suit filed earlier this week urged to issue a declaration to the effect that since Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act of 1956 does not distinguish between homosexual and heterosexual couples, the right of same-sex couples to marry should be recognized. Section 5 of the Act clearly lays down that marriage can be performed between 'any two Hindus'. Solicitor General of India, Tushar Mehta has opposed the petition by arguing that Indian culture and law doesn't recognise the concept of same-sex marriages.
