#BREAKING Central Government opposes pleas in #SupremeCourt seeking recognition of same-sex marriage.

Decriminalisation of Section 377 IPC cannot give rise to a claim to seek recognition for same-sex marriage, Centre says in counter-affidavit.
#SupremeCourtOfIndia #LGBT
Living together of persons in same-sex relationships "cannot be compared to the Indian family concept of a husband, a wife and children born out of the union" , Centre tells #SupremeCourtOfIndia #SameSexMarriage #LGBTQIA
Statutory recognition of marriage limited to heterosexual in nature, is the norm throughout history and are foundational to both the existence and continuance of the State : Centre tells #SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt #LGBTQI
No fundamental rights violated due to not recognising same sex marriages : Centre tells #SupremeCourtOfIndia #SupremeCourt
Same-sex relationships not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife and children which necessarily presuppose a biological man as a ‘husband’, a biological woman as a ‘wife’ - Centre to #SupremeCourt
