Delhi HC fixes for final hearing pleas to recognise same-sex marriages under law

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court Monday listed for final hearing separate pleas, including by two same sex couples, seeking a declaration recognising same sex marriages under the special, Hindu and foreign marriage laws. In the first petition, Abhijit Iyer Mitra and three others have contended that same-sex marriages are not possible despite the Supreme Court's decriminalising consensual homosexual acts and sought a declaration to recognise them under the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act. The two other pleas are —one filed by two women seeking to get married under the SMA and challenging provisions of the statute to the extent that it does not provide for same-sex marriages, and the other filed by two men who got married in the U.S. but were denied registration of their marriage under the Foreign Marriage Act. “The law as it stands.personal laws are settled and marriage which is contemplated to be is between biological man and biological woman,” he said, adding that there is some misconception of petitioners regarding the Supreme Court’s verdict decriminalising consensual homosexual act.
