India's Supreme Court to Decide on Same-Sex Marriage, Impacting Millions

India's Supreme Court is set to rule on the recognition of same-sex marriage, a landmark case that could have significant implications for millions of LGBTQ individuals in the country. Currently, India does not recognize same-sex marriage, denying LGBTQ couples access to legal benefits related to adoption, insurance, and inheritance. Activists argue that it is time for India to treat the LGBTQ community as equal citizens under the constitution, while the ruling government argues that same-sex marriage is a "Western" concept without constitutional basis. The court's ruling, expected soon, could bring about a major change in a traditionally conservative country and provide legitimacy and protection for LGBTQ individuals who face discrimination and harassment.
