ASG Bhati: Though the application is filed by NCPCR, a lot of reliance was also placed on ministries and CARA. So your lordships may see this as a comprehensive submission.

#LGTBQIA #SupremeCourtofIndia #SameSexMarriage #MarriageEquality
ASG Bhati: First I've submitted that there is a basic structure of marriage and that is a union of man and woman. Second, gender fluidity is impermissible where cis gender is core.

The resolution states that the social ramifications of the ongoing proceedings before the SC are colossal and have the potential to have an unintended impact on the fabric of the society.
Bar Council of India passes a resolution on #samesexmarriage.
“ever since the inception of human civilisation and culture, marriage has been typically accepted and categorized as a union of biological man and woman for the twin purpose of procreation and recreation”, says BCI.

In a few countries, mostly Muslim nations - homosexuality is still punishable by death. These countries include Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, and parts of Nigeria and Somalia. This world has a long way to go for LGBTQIA+ rights.
Sadly, life imprisonment is still a reality for LGBTQIA+ individuals in some places, mostly in Africa. Uganda and Tanzania are examples of countries where being LGBTQIA+ can lead to life imprisonment.
As the Supreme Court Constitution Bench hears arguments for #samesexmarriage ,here is a thread of important recent Supreme Court judgments that made headway for gender equality and autonomy.
Vishakha vs State of Rajasthan (1997): Made way for commissioning of Vishakha guidelines against sexual harassment at workplace by SC in 1997. Replaced by POSH Act 2013.
NALSA vs UoI (2014): Transgender persons and the idea of third gender recognised. Underlined need for transgender rights + set of guidelines to be followed by states.
