Estonia joins countries legalizing same-sex marriage.

Estonia has become the first Baltic country to legalize same-sex marriage, with 55 votes in favor and 34 against. The legislation will come into force in 2024. The move comes after the liberal coalition government took office two months ago. Estonia introduced same-sex civil unions in 2014, but they did not guarantee the same adoption rights and parental recognition that automatically come with marriage. A recent survey conducted by the Estonian Human Rights Center found that 53% of the population supports marriage equality, compared with 34% in 2012.

Estonia joins countries legalizing same-sex marriage.

Estonia has become the second Central European country to legalize same-sex marriage, following Slovenia. The law will come into effect on January 1, 2024. The move follows earlier efforts to grant greater rights to LGBTQ+ Estonians, including the introduction of same-sex civil unions in 2014. A recent survey found that 53% of Estonians support marriage equality. Same-sex relations between men were criminalized in Estonia under Soviet occupation and did not become legal again until 1992.

CJI speaks on trolls and same-sex marriage in court.

Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud said judges are now confronting a new scenario where trolls answer their courtroom observations and questions. The remark came during the Supreme Court's deliberation on the LGBTQIA+ demand for adoption rights. The CJI also stated that there is no absolute concept of a man or woman and that same-sex couples seek the same benefits of marriage as available to heterosexual couples, except procreation.
