SC Ruling Disappoints Hyd LGBTQ+ Community

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The city’s LGBTQ+ community has expressed disappointment over the Supreme Court's dismissal of review petitions on its judgment on same-sex marriage. A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected petitions seeking a review of the October 2023 judgment, which refused to legalise same-sex marriage. Rachana Mudraboyina, a transgender rights activist, noted: “Trans women and trans men have been in relationships or getting married to the men and women for ages. But, our relationships have no legal legitimacy and end up in vain as either of the partners committing suicide or getting separated forcibly.” Mudraboyina noted that in Telangana alone, data from 2021 revealed that on average, one trans woman dies by suicide each month due to a failed relationship or the collapse of marriage.
