March 12, 2023: Indian Government has opposed same-sex marriage in Supreme Court and urging the court to reject the challenges appealed by LGBT couples.
According to the Ministry of Law, having a love relationship or staying together with the same gender is not comparable to the Indian family unit concept of husband, wife, and children.
At least 15 pleas including some gay couples have appealed the court in recent weeks to recognise the same-sex marriages.
