Parth Phiroze Mehrotra, 36, and his partner Uday Raj Anand, 35, walk in a park near their home in New Delhi, India, Dec 18, 2022.NEW DELHI — The Indian government opposes recognising same-sex marriages, it said in a filing to the Supreme Court on Sunday , urging the court to reject challenges to the current legal framework lodged by LGBT couples.
The court cannot be asked "to change the entire legislative policy of the country deeply embedded in religious and societal norms", it said. At least 15 pleas, some by gay couples, have been filed in recent months asking the court to recognise same-sex marriages, setting the stage for this legal face-off with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
In India, the issue of same-sex marriage is sensitive: speaking openly about homosexuality is taboo for many in the socially conservative country of 1.4 billion people.
