Same-sex marriage demands gain steam in India

Deccan Chronicle  

The decriminalisation of Section 377 of the IPC in 2018 was a landmark judgment, favouring the Indian LGBTQI community, but it’s been two years since and the law still doesn’t permit same-sex couples to marry. Recently, Delhi High Court sought the response of the Centre and the Delhi Government after going through two separate pleas by two same-sex couples seeking legal registration of their marriages under the Special Marriage Act and Foreign Marriage Act, respectively. “I have seen many families accept same-sex relationships, especially after the 2018 judgment when Supreme Court ended Section 377, and legalised gay sex,” says Nishant. “I think in a time when intolerance towards the ‘other’ is growing in India, marriage equality could support wider societal change and imaginaries of openness and acceptance,” he adds.
