Same-Sex Marriage Still A Big Question Mark

Same-Sex Marriage Still A Big Question Mark
Same-sex marriage is still not recognized in India. Despite the country's progressive stance on issues such as gender identity and sexual orientation, same-sex couples are still not allowed to legally marry. However, the situation is changing gradually.


                                             

• Article 377
Currently, same-sex marriage is not recognized under Indian law. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code criminalized homosexuality, but the law was struck down in 2018 by the Indian Supreme Court. This was a significant milestone for the LGBTQ+ community in India, but it did not lead to the legalization of same-sex marriage.


                                            




• Transgender Persons (Protection Of Rights Act
The Indian government has taken some steps toward recognizing the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. In 2019, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act was passed, which recognizes transgender individuals as a separate gender and grants them certain rights, such as the right to vote, own property and access healthcare. However, the act has been criticized for being inadequate and for not providing adequate protection to transgender people.


                                        c



• Challenges Faced By LGBTQ+ Community
It is worth noting that some religious and conservative groups in India are opposed to same-sex marriage, and there is a lack of political will to push for its legalization. In addition, there is also a lack of public awareness and acceptance of LGBTQ+ issues in India, which makes it challenging to bring about change           



• Conclusion

In conclusion, same-sex marriage is still not recognized in India, but there are signs of progress. The LGBTQ+ community is fighting for their rights, and some courts have recognized the need for change. However, there is a long way to go before same-sex marriage becomes legal in India, and it will require significant political and social change.
