Activist Anjali Gopalan, who was among the bunch petitioners in the same-sex marriage case on Tuesday said that the the Supreme Court verdict refusing to recognise the legality of same sex marriages in the country was disappointing.
"We have been fighting for long and will keep doing so.
Regarding adoption also nothing was done. What the CJI said was very good regarding adoption, but it's disappointing that other justices didn't agree...this is democracy but we are denying basic rights to our own citizens," Gopalan said.
The activist's plea was among the 21 petitions seeking legal validation for same sex marriages that were heard by the Supreme Court.
A five-judge Constitution bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud ruled in a 3:2 verdict against giving constitutional validity to same sex marriages. The top court said it is for Parliament to formulate legislation on it.
