The Solicitor General Tushar Mehta has submitted that the same-sex marriage concept is not recognized in our Hindu Marriage Act of 1956. It is not recognized under the Indian Law or in our Culture.
According to Law marriage held only between husband and Wife, argued by Mehta to urge the Hindu Marriage Act which does not approve same-sex marriage.
He submitted the culture of every Country is codified with statutory provisions and until any statutory provisions are changed, as the court cannot do, the relief which is prayed for can’t be granted, submitted by SG.
The SG has said that the matter doesn’t require an affidavit as it could argue on a basis of statutory provisions and will come back after receiving the information from the center, SG Mehta has maintained as the Supreme Court effect 2018 Judgement on the case of Navtej Singh Johar Case was only to decriminalize the consensual homosexual activities, “neither any more nor any less”.
The court went to suggests as the petitioner, who were activist and also a member of the LGBTQ community, should first try and be married registered and in case of denial should appear in front of the court with grievances.

The court has further asked for the record of all persons who couldn’t register their marriage of same-sex on the next hearing on October 21.
The contention lies on the 2 universally accepted, which are Fundamental principles of Equality and Non-Discrimination. The International Human Rights has stated the birth Rights to every human being and accept no exception, urges the petitioner at the conclusion.
