SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: "The issue is related to our civilization, this is not something to be decided by 4-5 people. I have said that the Supreme Court is not the forum to decide its framework" : Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) says in an interview with Vivek Bindra. Image
"Two people can have a relationship, we don't interfere. Same-Sex people can lead their life the way they want, they can travel, dance, eat, and sing, but when it comes to Marriage, it is not just a relation between two people. It is a system. It is related to our civilization"
"Going forward, we will push the use of regional language in High Courts as well. Whatever help is required, the Government will provide the same.": Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju)

Same-Sex Marriage| "Matter not b/w Govt and #SupremeCourt, it concerns citizens of India. It is a question of people's will. The will of the people is reflected in Parliament, state assemblies and in forums where elected people are there": Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) Image
"If 5 wise men, decide something which is correct according to them, I can't make any kind of any adverse comment. But if people don't want it, you can't impose things on people. A sensitive matter like the institution of marriage has to be decided by the people of the country."
"#SupremeCourt can issues directions, fill vacuum but when it comes to a matter which affects every citizen of the country, then the Court is not the forum to decide on behalf of the people of the country": Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju)

CJI says that there's no absolute concept of a Man and Woman.

So remember you can go into a coach specially reserved for woman in a metro or bus and can sit there, the only thing is that you have to identify yourself as a woman.

It doesn't matter what are your genitals.
There's difference between Genetic Anomaly and being identified as a woman or as man or as a transgender or anyone when your biological structure doesn't support it.
With the removal of article 377, it's now legalised for any person to make relationship with any sex of their choice and that wouldn't be count as a criminal offense.

But legalising same sex marriage will completely demolish the native marriage culture of India.
