Supreme Court says recognising same-sex marriage up to legislature; but asks Centre to devise means to confer rights without marriage label
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud said that the government was being pushed to address this issue due to the fact that if the judiciary enters this arena, it would become a legislative issue.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that granting legal recognition to same-sex marriages falls within the domain of legislature but the Court's objective in hearing the same-sex marriage case is to ensure that means are devised to grant same-sex couples social and other benefits and legal rights without the label of marriage.
