Supreme Court To Hear Pleas Seeking Legalisation Of Same-Sex Marriages
The Supreme Court will start hearing the final arguments Tuesday on a raft of petitions seeking to legalise same-sex marriage. The hearing of the matter, which Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has said is of "seminal importance", will be "live streamed in public interest".
Earlier this year in January, a three-judge SC bench transferred nine pending petitions dealing with similar issues from the Delhi and Kerala high courts to itself. On March 13, the three-judge bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud referred the case to a five-judge Constitution bench.
The BJP-led Centre has rejected petitions for legalising same-sex marriage, stating it would disrupt personal laws and societal values. In an affidavit before the top court, the Centre has termed the petitions as one that reflect an "urban elitist" view.
The Centre said recognition of marriage was a legislative function and the courts should refrain from deciding on it.
"The competent legislature will have to take into account broader views and voice of all rural, semi-rural and urban population, views of religious denominations keeping in mind personal laws as well as and customs governing the field of marriage together with its inevitable cascading effects on several other statutes," the Centre said.
