SC seeks Centre's response on legalising same-sex marriages

New Delhi: Four years after decriminalising consensual private sexual relationship between adults of LGBTQ+ communities, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to examine legalising same-sex marriages in India as it sought the Union government’s response to the pleas of two gay couples for making Special Marriage Act (SMA), 1954, gender-neutral.

A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli issued notice to the Centre and asked it to file its response in four weeks to two petitions — one filed by Hyderabad-based partners Supriyo aka Supriya Chakraborty and Abhay Dang, and the other by Delhi-based partners Parth Phiroze Mehrotra and Uday Raj.

The SC also enlisted the assistance of attorney general R Venkataramani by issuing notice to him.
