New Delhi – India’s top court declined on Tuesday to legalize same-sex marriages but said the country had a duty to acknowledge LGBTQ relationships and to protect them from discrimination.
But their verdict said that the charter did not guarantee a fundamental right to marry that would extend to same-sex couples under existing law. “Our ability to feel love and affection for one another makes us feel human,” he said from the bench. The petitioners had said validating same-sex marriage would help them access some of the legal benefits of matrimony, including adoption, insurance and inheritance.
“Living together as partners and having sexual relationship by same sex individuals… is not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife and children”, it added.
