India's Top Court Rejects Same-Sex Marriage

In a significant yet divisive ruling, India's Supreme Court chose not to legalize same-sex marriage, leaving the issue to parliament's discretion. Chief Justice Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud noted, "The court, in the exercise of the power of judicial review, must steer clear of matters, particularly those impinging on policy, which fall in the legislative domain." While the court's decision allows LGBTQ individuals to have relationships without legal penalties, it stops short of granting them legal recognition in areas such as inheritance, succession, and hospital visitation rights. Amidst a backdrop of social conservatism, the ruling has ignited debates and left many questioning the future of LGBTQ rights in India. However, a silver lining exists as the court supported a government initiative to consider extending certain rights to same-sex couples.
