Non-heterosexual unions and heterosexual marriages ought to be considered as two sides of same coin: Justice Kaul https://ift.tt/KZICXNm

Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul has stated that non-heterosexual unions and heterosexual marriages should be seen as equal, both in terms of recognition and benefits. He emphasized the need for a regulatory framework for non-heterosexual unions, as they are entitled to protection under the constitution. Justice Kaul argued that the Special Marriage Act is discriminatory and violates the right to equality. He also highlighted that non-heterosexual unions have historical roots in Indian civilization and should not be seen as solely a modern phenomenon. Justice Kaul called on constitutional institutions to address the historical discrimination and take affirmative steps.
