Petitioners before the Court view the idea of giving of legal status for marriages between people belonging to the same sex as a natural consequence of the 2018 judgment <strong>decriminalising (Make legal) <\/strong>homosexuality. The government, however, contends that there is no need to depart from the <strong>heteronormative (Regarding heterosexual relationships as normal or preferred) <\/strong>understanding of marriage. And even if there ought to be such a change, it must come from the legislature. The question before the Court is whether it should interpret provisions of marriage laws in India, especially the Special Marriage Act, 1954, as permitting marital unions between same-sex couples. The Act allows the <strong>solemnisation (The public performance of a sacrament or solemn ceremony with all appropriate ritual) <\/strong>of a marriage between any two persons and is used by those who are unable to register their marriages under their respective personal laws. The Union government has argued that the decriminalisation of consensual relations between adults of the same sex has removed the <strong>stigma (A symbol of disgrace or infamy) <\/strong>attached to homosexuality, but has not conferred the right of marriage. And that the state is entitled to limit its recognition to marriages involving heterosexual couples. There is no discrimination, it claims, in keeping same-sex couples out of the definition of marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the equality norm, the central question is not very complicated. It can be recognised that no civil right available to married heterosexual couples ought to be denied to those who belong to the same gender. The incidental consequences on issues of property and succession may not pose <strong>insurmountable (Not capable of being overcome) <\/strong>difficulties. The Centre\u2019s other argument, <strong>invoking (resort to) <\/strong>religious norms and cultural values, against recognising same-sex marriages is weak and inadequate. It is <strong>futile (Producing no result or effect) <\/strong>to argue that it will undermine faith or rock societal values. The mere fact that many people consider marriage to be a <strong>sacrament (A formal religious ceremony) <\/strong>or a holy union is not enough to deny equal status to the union of people of the same sex or to undermine its essential character as a social and economic contract. Whether the <strong>remedy (the legal means to recover a right or obtain redress for a wrong) <\/strong>ought to take the form of recognition of same-sex marriages, and, if so, whether it should be through judicial intervention or legislative action, is the question. That the legislature should be involved in bringing about far-reaching changes that may impact the personal laws of all religions is indeed an acceptable proposition. A responsive government that wants to treat this as a matter of policy and not <strong>cede (give over) <\/strong>space to the courts would act on its own to consider the right of any two people, regardless of gender, to marry or found a family. Legislative inaction on burning social issues will legitimise and invite judicial intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update your vocabulary with the help of this analysis of The Hindu Editorial.
