All India Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee reacted on the issue of same-sex marriage and said that everyone has the right to choose their own respective life partner and love has no limit.


"Everyone has the right to choose their own respective life partner, love has no limit. If I want to choose a life partner of my choice, if I'm a man & I'm fond of man, if I'm a woman, I'm fond of woman...hopeful SC will rule in favour of ethos we take pride in," Banerjee said as quoted by ANI.






On the third day of the hearing of various petitions seeking marriage equality, the Supreme Court on Thursday opined that the relationship between same-sex couples is emotional and the notice inviting objections under Special Marriage Act was based on patriarchy.


The Supreme Court also passed certain remarks on being trolled and announced that the matter will be heard from Monday to Friday, like in the Ayodhya case.


A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and also comprising justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli and P.S. Narasimha was hearing a batch of petitions pertaining to 'marriage equality rights for LGBTQAI+ community'.


During the hearing, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said, "There are no absolutes as I said, even at the risk of getting trolled."
Earlier, on Tuesday, CJI Chandrachud made the remark that the very notion of a biological man is absolute, which is inherent, and that there is no absolute concept of biological man and woman. The said remark was trolled by various social media handlers.
The CJI on Thursday remarked that "answers to what we say in court is in troll, not in court," as quoted by ANI.


The remarks came when the court was raising the question on the impact of children, who saw domestic violence between heterosexual couples, asking will that child grow up in a normal atmosphere. The court also raised the issue when the father became an alcoholic, coming home and thrashing the mother every night.


Such opinions were put forward when Senior Advocate Ramachandran stressed the right to marriage of same-sex couples saying that studies and evidence show that homosexual couples are as well suited as heterosexual couples to bring up children.
