The center today made its stand clear on same sex marriages. SG Tushar Mehta said "Not recognized by Indian culture or law". This was in response to a petition filed on behalf of activists and members of the LGBTQ community arguing that the Hindu Marriage Act (the Act) allows a marriage to take place between 'any two Hindus', without discriminating between homosexuals and heterosexuals.
