Centre oppose Same sex marriage – not according to Indian tradition; hearing at SC
The petitions seeking legal recognition of same sex marriage will be heard in the Supreme Court today. On Sunday, the central government opposed it by filing an affidavit. According to news agency PTI, the Center said in a 56-page affidavit that same sex marriage is not according to Indian tradition. It does not match with the concept of husband and wife and the children born to them.
The Central Government also mentioned the present condition of the society in its affidavit. Center said- In the present times, many types of marriages or relationships are being adopted in the society. We have no objection to this.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had decided to simultaneously hear all the petitions filed in different High Courts including Delhi regarding this issue. On January 6, the court had transferred all the petitions related to this issue to itself. Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice P.S. Narasimha and Justice J. B. Pardiwala’s bench will hear the matter on Monday.
In the affidavit, the government has said that the Supreme Court and the High Court have clarified the interpretation of personal liberty in many of their decisions. On the basis of these decisions also, this petition should be dismissed, because there is no fact in it to be heard. It is justified to dismiss him on the basis of merit also.
Even according to the mention in the law, same-sex marriage cannot be recognized, because the definition of husband and wife has been given in it biologically. Accordingly, both have legal rights as well. How can husband and wife be considered separately in case of dispute in same-sex marriage?
