Live updates from the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage hearing on April 25: On Tuesday, April 25, the Supreme Court will continue to hear arguments in favour of allowing same-sex unions. Senior Advocate Geeta Luthra referenced the Foreign Marriages Act of 1969 when arguing on behalf of a same-sex couple who were married in the US but had one member who was born in India. "Virtually every democratic, forward-thinking nation in the world has recognised same-sex unions," she asserted. We are not able to lag. even if it's just one minority or one person. No rights may be denied to them. Included in this are their rights to a visa, an inheritance, to be adopted, to have children, and to insurance.
The petitioners had also previously contended that Article 21 (Protection of Life and Personal Liberty), guarantees the freedom to marry a partner of one's choice.
Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared on behalf of the petitioners, argued against the Special Marriage Act's (SMA) statutory 30-day notice requirement by stating that personal laws in the nation "don't discriminate" in contrast to the SMA of 1954. Singhvi noted that the period shouldn't apply to heterosexual couples as well because it invites meddling from khap panchayats and other groups opposed to such marriages.
