Judges say decision should be made by parliament but stress that such unions should not face discrimination

India’s top court has declined to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages, saying it is beyond its scope and should be decided by parliament, but emphasising that queer relationships should not face discrimination by the state.

The marriage ruling will be a disappointment for LGBTQ+ people in India, who had hoped the supreme court judges would recognise their constitutional right to marriage equality.

    Typical clickbait headline.

    The Supreme Court ruled that it’s not up to them to legalise same-sex marriage, it needs to be done through parliament, and they basically said they support it.
