One of the best decisions taken by the Indian Judicial System was to implement Live court hearings . Should've been implemented a long time ago but better late than never . Helps show the dire process that goes into implementing a law . And gives us a perspective what went on and the reasons why some conditions are placed in some laws. Stops us from just jumping into conclusions why the law is wrong or right or what it shouldve been.

Excellent. This is EXACTLY what I thought, too. What the SG is pointing out are the wordings that have been put in with the binary systems in mind

If I am being honest with you... Ancient Hindu Texts have the reference of Homosexuality in them and if they had no problem with it at that age or time, I think we should neither. But yes, the problems listed by the SG definitely makes sense. I know your argument about reforming the current system sounds logical but it isn't factually accurate. The LGBTQ community fails to determine their gender. In the Indian Law their are certain privileges given to both the genders respectively. Now, how to determine these things? Their can't be two parallel laws for the two of them because if so, then what if someone decides to identify themselves as LGBTQ in between their trail? So, my point is... What problem doesn't have a solution? But not every solution is feasible.

The majority of people have absolutely no idea about the complexity of this matter and are foolishly reducing it to an "Equality issue". Most of the people have no idea about the arguments put by advocates and Justices in this matter. The Chief Justice just announced that the Honourable Supreme Court cannot entertain popular morality because if they go by what young people feel then they afterwards have to listen to what many other people feel. Listen to the arguments put forth by the Solicitor General and how the bench agreed on the devastating effects and ramifications of legalising same-sex marriage on the personal laws, Special Marriage Act, Constitutional laws, Criminal and Civil Procedure, and provisions and laws and safeguards for women. The problem is that people are seeing this without even a smidgeon of technical knowledge, and it is not a problem but people should restrain from speaking on the matters which are exceedingly severe. Same-Sex Marriage entails Identity-crisis (just like what is happening in USA) and after that Identity Politics. There would be thousands of petitions on the identity issues with the defence of 78th paragraph in NLSA v. UoI(2014).

Except for the Incest thing, every other argument seems fair.

If a man who raped a woman doesn't identify himself as a man, what should be the deciding factor to consider him a man. CJI knows how messed up this gets, so he left it to the parliament.

Both these cases showed his way of words and pseudo-mordenist approach to argue in favour of customs that lack any value in the mordern world. Treating ayappan as a physical person is the violation of several beliefs in the hindu system which state that idols are representaion of gods and god itself is formless and not necessarily a human. The second case of Diwali he argued that crackers are burned as a way to show spirits the lighted path to heaven or whatever and it is a custom that should be respected. I agree that lightning has a special significance but there is no mention in vedas about crackers , the lighted path you provide via diya and candles. But he speaks in fast english sentences and provides pseudo logic for all his assertions just like Ben Shapiro. And most of the times he is like - if other religions do it , why we should not?

the concept of 'wife' is a gendered term that is traditionally used to refer to the female partner in a heterosexual marriage. However, in a same-sex marriage, both partners are equal spouses. Therefore, there is no single 'wife' in a same-sex marriage. Using gender-neutral terms like "spouse" or "partner" is more respectful and accurate.

[@theredstar6493]

And that would end the exclusive privilege that women enjoy in marriage (should've ended it long ago) Modifying the current laws to gender-neutral terms would mean you leave women to face the brutal misuse of laws that are currently only faced by men or to simultaneously rectify these laws where people don't get punished based on mere accusations ( which they're not willing to do as men are their primary cash cow and rectifying these laws would mean men no longer having to face legal extraction ) For simplification let's take IPC 498A as an example, currently a gender-biased section that can only be applied by the wife (woman) onto the husband or his family By making it gender neutral women would get eligible to be accused and charged under this section, tbh They'd suffer more during the case is pending between court by facing issues in bail/delayed hearing dates/harassment by police Now when women start to be the victim of fake accusations (or legitimate crimes proven against them) government would have to change the punishment or it'll affect their vote bank The LGBTQ community was not led down because of the social structure of this country but rather the legal structure where giving them privileges would mean women and government consequently lose their ability to extort from men

[@ridhimasharma2766]

@@theredstar6493 It's important to understand that using gender terms, in marriage doesn't automatically lead to the issues you mentioned. Advocating for gender terms like 'spouse' or 'partner' in same sex marriages isn't about taking privileges from any specific group, including women. It's about promoting inclusivity and acknowledging the worth and rights of both partners in a marriage regardless of their gender. When it comes to matters it's crucial to establish an just system for everyone involved. This entails addressing biases and rectifying existing laws that might be biased based on gender, such as IPC 498A. By making laws gender neutral we ensure that both men and women are protected from any form of abuse or false accusations. It's not about shifting the burden from one group to another; rather it aims to establish a system that treats all individuals under the law. Supporting the LGBTQ community and advocating for gender terms doesn't mean compromising womens rights or hindering the governments ability to address crimes. It's, about constructing a society that respects and values the rights and well being of every individual of their orientation or gender identity. By striving for opportunities and fairness we can foster an inclusive society that benefits all individuals involved.

I think the Hon. SC may formulate general guidelines to deal with confusion. But,sooner or later this issue has to be dealt with by the legislature. Either,they accept the ruling of SC and make necessary amendments,or they make laws contrary to the Hon. SC decisions thereby nullifying it or they can refuse to do anything while the Courts deal with this one case at a time.

Morality and ethicality is based upon individual and societal view (if you consider society as a part of decision making then remember the fact that society is against things like these too) "gay couple are not the same as incest couple", same way heterosexual couples are not the same as homosexual couples, see how the table turned?

As ideal as it sounds the thing is the constitution of india is vast. Not to mention the biggest in the world which has been drafted almost a century ago. The amendments made follow a long procedure and amending everything in a go would be something id like to refer to as 'hysterical'. It would cause a chaos and as much as i am in the support of same sex marriages India has a lot more things to deal with especially as a developing nation. Its also important to keep in mind the conservative mindset of the generations living in the Indian society. Riots, domestic violence, protests, internal conflicts can be easily arisen if any amendment is made in a hurry. The laws will hqve to completely change and will cause extreme confusions. Had our constitution been one like from the west it wouldnt be as hard to make such changes but our constitution came into existence at an expense of millions of lives and a lot of dedication. Everything will be overturned with a single mistake. India needs time and the SC deserves a huge applause for taking this matter up and ckosely analysing it with reasonable arguments. Taking this matter up is anhuge achievement itself.

[@xisc-25shourashishbanerjee89]

The answer to this very argument will be, that since the parties concerned are consenting adults, they themselves have, decided amongst themselves to enter into the act of marriage, similarly they will acknowledge amongst themselves that who will play the part of the father, and who will act as the mother, it just has to be signed under their consent on a legal paper. Now because of this a whole lot of technicalities and adjustments regarding succession and other acts would come, but again when this question would arise, their signatures , would testify their role in the marriage.

[@ishukumar4208]

Perhaps a signature can reduce legal ambiguity but that’s not only at stake here, notion of marrying same sex questions the concept of marriage, concept of man and women and their descendants. Same sex marriage will make biological differences between man and women redundant.

[@xisc-25shourashishbanerjee89]

@@ishukumar4208 ooh you have a, point here

[@GobiSubramaniam]

The problem with deciding among themselves is that they need to put it down into a legal contract before a Court to legalize it. That means that someone have to accept the role of Man and another must accept the role of the Wife. That is what the lawyer is arguing. Not the rejection of LGBT relationship altogether but the lack of legal binding for the same sex couple (on who will be accepting the role of the man and woman). Only when that legal obstacle is removed, the same-sex marriage can be added into Common Marriage Laws. But the problem here is the LGBT groups do not believe in the traditional definition of Man and Woman. They want to erase the concept of Man and Woman and demanding the whole legal spetrum of Marriage and Family laws to be changed just for that which is utter nonsense. This is like to fix the roof, you burn down the house and then rebuild the house to accommadate the new roof.

[@T_ShaktiAggarwal]

The older person among the couple can be given rights of being father and the younger one mother. The question here seems more like is our courts active enough to make new laws or is it lazy rather than is the legalising good or bad for society and individual

This argument feels like saying that we have laws in place which do not account for same sex marriage and so we should not have same marriage instead of updating the laws to account for it.

[@apolloismydad]

This argument is addressing the issues and loopholes that will arise in the Judiciary system if SSM was to be legalised, so before that is done, these changes need to be made in the constitution to account for same s*x couples
