India's Same-Sex Marriage Debate: Government and Courts Clash.
TL;DR Summary
India's Supreme Court is hearing final arguments this week in a historic group of petitions to legalize same-sex marriage. The plaintiffs argue they're being discriminated against by being denied the same legal rights as straight married couples. India's government is against the legalization of same-sex marriage, and questions whether the court has the right to decide it at all. A favorable decision in this case would make India the 35th country worldwide and the second place in Asia to allow marriage equality, after Taiwan's parliament passed such a bill in 2019.
