Centre opposes same-sex marriages ahead of SC hearing

Live Mint  

Ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on the legalisation of same sex marriages, the move had received vehement opposition from the Centre. In a filing to the apex court the government said that such a move would not be ‘comparable with the Indian family unit’. The Centre's affidavit came as a counter to demands raised by several petitioners seeking legal recognition of same sex marriages. The Centre said that despite the decriminalization of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners “cannot claim a fundamental right for same-sex marriage to be recognised under the laws of the country”.
