1)This was also why whole "Hindu" civil code was formulated: combined with the Muslim League successor Constituent assembly member's claim that Hindus being majority shdnt hv Constitutional protection for their culture/law only "minorities" need it-logic since used by judicially.
2)in ruling after ruling the "Hindu code bill" has stripped off all obligations but affirmed all the rights of the wife given in Hindu traditional jurisprudence. Courts only cite interpretations of Hindu texts that support their ruling but I have never seen full original quotes
3)this extension of marital recognition to same-biological gender unions, should be pursued on its own demerits or merits and come under a special marriage act - but it would a be cynically abusive attack on Hindus by calling it a 'Hindu marriage" under Hindu civil code.
4)No part of Hindu jurisprudence before the free mash under the disaster Nehru - has any support for same bio-gender "marriages". Open minders should be open minded enough not to discriminate by preventing non-Hindus from the benefit of open-minded marriages.
5)Open minders should show also the minimal honesty and respect in not claiming same bio-gender marriages as "Hindu" as there is no traditional textual Hindu jurisprudence support for it - the same respect they show to Islamic and Christian jurists.
