Live: Supreme Court Hears Requests Seeking Legalisation Of Same-Sex Marriage

The Supreme Court begins hearing the requests seeking to legalise same-sex marriages, a petition that the Centre is vehemently opposing.

Yesterday, the coordination committee of all district court bar associations of Delhi said that the issue of same-sex marriage being heard by the Supreme Court should instead be decided the legislature.

The Constitution Bench started hearing the petitions on April 18.

Various petitions are being dealt with by Supreme Court seeking legal recognition of same-sex marriage. The Centre has opposed the petitions. One of the petitions earlier raised the absence of a legal framework which allowed members of the LGBTQ+ community to marry any person of their choice.
