In response to the Supreme Court`s refusal to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages, the Congress, on Tuesday, reaffirmed its commitment to inclusion and non-discrimination in the judicial, social, and political realms. The party expressed its stance as advocates for safeguarding the freedoms, choices, liberties, and rights of all citizens.
A five-judge Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, delivered the verdict on 21 pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriages. The court emphasized its role in interpreting the law rather than making it, asserting that the matter of changing the Special Marriage Act rests with Parliament.
