Centre opposes same-sex marriage in affidavit to SC; cites Indian family unit concept

The Government on Sunday filed a counter-affidavit in the Supreme Court, opposing pleas seeking legal recognition of same-sex marriages in the country.

In its affidavit the Centre has said that living together of persons in same-sex relationships 'cannot be compared to the Indian family concept of a husband, a wife and children born out of
the union', Livelaw.in reported.

The Centre has further said that the union between persons of opposite sex is 'socially, culturally and legally ingrained into the very idea and concept of marriage and ought not to be disturbed or diluted by judicial interpretation'.

The three judge Supreme Court bench comprising of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud will hear pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriage on March 13.
