Anyway, here's lesbian and Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy arguing for legalising same sex marriage in India 🇮🇳🌈 in the SC. She and her long-term gf Arundhati Katju were also instrumental in striking down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalised homosexual sex.

Statute kya hota hai? Also if not marriage, kya Civil Partnership ka koi scope hai? 🍋

Statute is essentially a law passed by the parliament like Special Marriage 'Act'

See the problem with judiciary deciding our rights is they can't create laws. What they are trying to do is interpret the SMA to include Same-Sex marriage. There are many ways to interpret a statute, the government will interpret it literally i.e., what is written - man and woman, husband and wife. What we want is an interpretation that can include two consenting adults and spouses. We can interpret it through constitution - we have right to equality and dignity.

As far as I know India does not recognise a civil partnership like this. Ours is a marriage country as said by Guruswamy

Parliament will have to take that action

Wait wait wait. Cassandra Clare is a plagiarist? Are you talking about the whole harry potter fanfic thing because I feel that's more inspiration then plagiarism. Jkr isn't the only one who's written a story about a character who thinks their human but isn't and gets introduced into a magical world and I think Clare's story has so many differences to stand alone as original.

I mean, I don't read her books and I wasn't a part of the fandom but me and initium went through a bit of a rabbit hole a few weeks ago because of this tweet

and were like lol interesting. So.

In India these days, a new debate is going on about the LGBTQ community , and the importance of the matter can be understood from the fact that the apex court of the land, the Supreme Court of India, has taken interest in this matter and is hearing the plea for giving a conclusive judgement.

Generally, I am clear about my stand on such matters and am always clear about my sides. But this time, it's quite difficult to choose. I am saying so not because of any grudges or any hatred for the community but because of the valid logic provided by the Union in the SupremeCourt. I personally believe in the cause of same-sex marriage and am greatly inclined towards it. This bias can be due to the institution I am a part of, which has always supported this cause. Yet when I see the larger picture of same-sex marriage, I believe that it's better not to pass any such law in haste and that we should first understand the concept from the perspective of society and law.

So where should we start? According to my limited knowledge or what I have perceived about this case till now, the lgbtq society is asking for legalising marriage and giving them the dignity and basic rights they deserve. As Menaka Guruswamy rightly pointed out, "marriage is not only a question of dignity; it is also a bouquet of rights that LGBTQ people are denied," which is absolutely correct.

But according to me, India as a society is still not ready for such a change. The community is constantly giving the example of countries like Canada and the Netherlands,  which have legalised same-sex marriage. But the reason that this won't work in India is due to the fact that, deep down somewhere, same-sex marriage propagates an "anti-birth mentality," and this is probably the reason why the birth rate of Canada, the Netherlands, and Sweden is lower than other countries.

Elaborating further, it will be very hard for a couple to sustain same-sex marriage in India because of the stark cultural differences that we have with the countries that have legalised it. Moreover, a study with '' no basis :what the study don't tell us about same sex patenting'' questions the parenting skills of the same-sex parents and conclusively points out that even the couples that go for children are not able to provide them with the quality life they deserve. Another study named "A New Study of Young Adults Conceived Through Sperm Donation" points out that the children of homosexual couples are more prone to getting into bad company and bad habits than the heterosexual couple. Also, it is seen that life is difficult for the children of homosexual couples in places where same-sex marriage is legalised. At the end, it is concluded that the development of the child of a homosexual couple is slow in comparison to that of heterosexual couples. Hence, experimenting with the legalisation of same-sex marriage won't be any good, both for the couples and their future progeny.

Another major problem with respect to same-sex marriage is the danger of diseases. The writer of Homo sexuality'' and the politics of truths'' say that the same-sex couples are more susceptible to sexual disease than the normal couple, and the life expectancy of the homo men is low in comparison to the normal men. There are many other reports that point out that the danger of aids in homosexuals is high.

A study of the Netherlands' mental health survey and the Incides study pointed out that homocouples are more prone to bad mental health in comparison to the normal couple.

Hence, to conclude, I believe that the time is still not right to legalise same-sex marriage in India, as we as a society first need to understand the basics of same-sex marriage, we first need to educate the masses on this issue. We as a society first need to evolve on this matter and understand the need and cause of such relations, and this can't be done after the law comes into existence as Indian society will react opposingly to this phenomenon. We have to be very delicate on this matter because it will change the whole structure of society, marriage, and whatnot. Making a law without involving the society in the matter will be imposing the wants of the few on masses who are not ready for such a change. The same argument was put forward by J. Sai Deepak in court, as he commented that when we are talking about implementing such a big change in society, we need to involve the society in this matter; otherwise, the society won't react favourably to this, and this will be challenging for the homo couples. Hence, it is necessary for the lgbtq community to first educate the society and then ask for legalising same-sex marriage. Moreover, it's very complex for giving the legal status, as Tushar Mehta rightly pointed out that lgbtq also contains a plus, which is worth thinking about as we still don't know how many more such shades are there, and making law without a proper understanding will be no good.

In the end, all I believe is that though I might look inclined towards the centre more, I still sympathise with the lqbtq community and support them. No matter what the verdict, it will be a win-win for me.

Yet, their journeys are marked by perseverance, courage, and a relentless pursuit of justice. These advocates have shown that no obstacle is insurmountable when driven by passion and purpose.

Advocates Who Paved the Way for Legal Equality

Before discussing today’s trailblazers, it is essential to honor the early pioneers who shattered glass ceilings and laid the foundation for women in law. Figures like Cornelia Sorabji, India’s first woman lawyer, and Justice Anna Chandy, the first female judge, opened doors for future generations to thrive in the legal profession.

Indira Jaising: A Trailblazer in Public Interest Litigation

Her work continues to uphold constitutional values, setting a benchmark for advocacy rooted in equality and justice.

Breaking Myths: Women Excelling in Diverse Legal Fields

Celebrating a New Era of Legal Trailblazers

The contributions of India’s leading female advocates are nothing short of extraordinary. Their courage, determination, and brilliance have transformed the legal system and inspired a new era of trailblazers.

As we celebrate their legacy, let us continue to support gender diversity in the legal profession, ensuring that future generations of women can break barriers and lead with confidence. These women prove that the pursuit of justice knows no gender and that the law is most powerful when it serves as a tool for equality and progress.
