India's ongoing debate on same-sex marriage in Parliament and the courts.

The Indian Supreme Court has observed that by decriminalising homosexuality in 2018, it recognised that same-sex couples could stay in a stable, “marriage-like” relationship. The court criticised the requirement under the Special Marriage Act to issue a 30-day public notice inviting objections to an intended marriage, calling the provision “patriarchal” and an invasion of privacy and right to marry a person of one’s own choice. The court will resume the arguments on April 24 when the petitioners have to conclude their submissions.
