Supreme Court of India dismisses same-sex marriage review petition
- The Supreme Court of India dismissed review petitions against its October 2023 judgement that refused to legalize same-sex marriages, stating the issue must be decided by Parliament and that there was no fundamental right to marriage.
- The court unanimously turned down the challenge to provisions of the Special Marriage Act and directed the Union and State governments to ensure that queer community members were not discriminated against.
- The review petitions argued that the apex court verdict forced queer couples to live dishonest lives and denied them judicial relief, leaving them at the mercy of government policy.
- The new five-judge bench found no errors in the previous judgments and confirmed that the views expressed were in accordance with the law, leading to the dismissal of the review petitions.
