NO. Same sex marriage is not an ‘urban elitist’ concept. It’s a human need. Maybe some sarkari elites drafted it who have never travelled in small towns & villages. Or Mumbai locals. First, same sex marriage is not a concept. It’s a need. It’s a right. And in a progressive, liberal & inclusive civilisation like Bharat, same sex marriage should be normal, not a crime.

You’re wrong sir. Read again, center is talking about “marriage” of same-sex couples not relationship between them. Secondly if you see how Indian marriages are conducted, it’s rituals of sindur daan, kanya daan, vivah pheras and vachan etc are designed specifically for men and women and will not fit same-sex couples. If they try, it will only make a mockery of these rituals. The best thing they can do is to create their own rituals and live in domestic partnership which indian government has no problem in granting. Thirdly, they cry about property transfer when the spouse passes away which can be solved quite easily if they simply make a will. Fourthly, and most importantly 99% of the same sex couples do not practice monogamy anyways so why this outrage I don’t understand?

@vivekagnihotri That moment when you said Christians should call the Pope, I got reassurance that you know nothing about religions let alone marriage. It’s upto a couple which ritual they want to get married with. We have a place called court in India. Ever heard of it? 🤡

@vivekagnihotri Nope 😭😂😂

@vivekagnihotri Sia, marriage rituals can be different but the marriage certificate comes for the government 🤷♀️ to be legalized you need the Supreme Court “drama”

True I guess special marriage can be modified to incorporate it, I thought they wanted to modify hindu marriage act. So there was some confusion there I apologize. But either way it’s not so simple as this will have a ripple effect and many other laws like adoption laws etc will have to be modified and policies that are gender specific like for wives and widows etc will have to be changed. So just like marriage rituals the community has to come up with a legal marriage structure like who will get whose surname, and whose surname will their kids get and how will domestic violence cases work because currently they’re designed to favor women. Then who gets the kids after divorce coz currently the mom gets preference. So ya it will change the entire fabric of social structures and is not just a matter of a simple change that many are claiming. I feel most people will welcome this change as long as it’s defined properly and goes through a proper discussion channel. However one must also ask if this change is really needed when even straight couples are choosing to avoid getting married and society is slowly moving away from marriage.

@vivekagnihotri there is so much wrong about this video .. so much that i even find the accent offensive

@vivekagnihotri Omg, 😭😂😂 why don’t I find people with good sense of humor in real life. Even your insult is funny!

@vivekagnihotri Well said Either the Hindu marriage is treated on par with Muslim & Christian marriages, thereby independent of Govt edict Or LGBT, make new rituals & mantras that are specific to gay, lesbian, etc. The issue is that this is an unfair political attack on Hinduism via courts

@vivekagnihotri Exactly. They’re basically telling that courts should be able to control how Hindus perform their personal rituals which is very unfair.

@vivekagnihotri Someone please tell this women about Special Marriage Act & Foreign Marriage Act, which is what the judicial review is limited to...🙄 Did you also forget the Triple Talaq Case? which was Supreme Court ruling on Muslim Personal Law

@vivekagnihotri दीदी, एक कानून है ऑलरेडी...विशेष विवाह अधिनियम...पढ़ लें...
