No Recognition To Same-Sex Marriage From Supreme Court. Over To Centre
In a landmark judgment on marriage equality, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud today said an individual's right to enter into a union cannot be restricted on the basis of sexual orientation. Underlining that the five-judge bench hearing the matter has authored four separate judgments, the Chief Justice asked the centre should proceed with a committee it has formed to address practical concerns of same-sex couples, such as getting ration cards, pension, gratuity and succession issues.
