Time to allow same-sex marriage

In a recent move, the Delhi High Court was approached for granting marriage rights to LGBTQ+ people. This was opposed by the Central government through Solicitor General Tushar Mehta who remarked that both Indian law and culture do not recognise the concept of same-sex marriages. There is rich Indian literature on homosexual people and some arguments to show that same-sex marriage is not opposed per se. In fact, the law itself has laid down foundations of such claim by LGBTQ+ people. I shall also explore possible opposition to same-sex marriage and offer a counter.

In a surprising move, the Kerala government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the constitutional validity of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), invoking Article 131 of the Constitution. Chhattisgarh, similarly, has challenged the National Investigation Agency Act (NIA Act). Meanwhile, Punjab has also decided to challenge the CAA. These moves have profound implications for the federal structure envisaged in the Constitution.

Citizenship Act: Internet bans were uncalled for

While the State responded to the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) by shutting down the internet at will, the Gauhati High Court upheld the fundamental right of the citizen to internet services by ordering the Assam government to lift the internet ban. The ban on internet services in Assam and other states has become the new norm in the State’s attempt to muzzle dissent.

Uniform civil code: Give it a serious thought

The UCC is enshrined as one of the ultimate goals of the Constitution under Article 44. It is pertinent to note the historical background on UCC to understand the ongoing debate, often met with vociferous opposition and equally vociferous support.
