Big SC verdict on same sex marriage: CJI reads out important parts of his judgement

New Delhi, October 17 (Press Ki Taquat)

Five-judge SC bench assembles to pronounce verdict on pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage.

There are four judgment one each by CJI DY Chandrachud, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Justice S Ravindra Bhat and Justice PS Narasimha.

The CJI says, “Courts cannot make law but can interpret and give effect to it. Then the subject of queerness is not urban or elite. In the limited exploration of the literature on the subject.. It makes it clear homosexuality is not a novel subject. People may be queer regardless whether they are from villages or cities.. not only an English-speaking man can lay claim to being queer. It’s also a woman working at a farm in a rural area.”
