Union Government Opposes Same-Sex Marriages in Supreme Court. The government said though the union of same-sex people has been decriminalised in India now as Section 377 of Indian Penal Code has been struck down, this does not meet the Indian concept of marriage. The government argued that the Court had only decriminalised sexual intercourse between same-sex persons in its 2018 judgment in Navtej Singh Johar, and not legitimised this "conduct". The court, while decriminalising homosexuality, had never accepted same-sex marriage as part of the fundamental right to life and dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution.
