India Today Joins 25 Nations Where Homosexuality Is Legal
Share Tweet Plus One Pin It Email Print By: PTI September 6, 2018 8:53 pm Change Font Size With the Supreme Court decriminalising gay sex, India joins 25 other countries where homosexuality is legal. However, 72 countries and territories worldwide still continue to criminalise same-sex relationships, including 45 in which such relationships between women are outlawed. In what is being hailed as a historic move, a five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously decriminalised part of the 158-year-old colonial law under Section 377 of the IPC which criminalises consensual unnatural sex, saying it violated the rights to equality. The constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra termed the part of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalises consensual unnatural sex as irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary.

However, the ASG proceeded to voice his personal apprehension in the light of the observation made by Justice D. Y. Chandrachud on Tuesday that in as much as the right to choose one’s sexual partner has been recognised in the Hadiya case, such right could also possibly be extended to include a partner of the same-sex. “This may encourage other forms of sexual perversions such as incest, and relationships within the ‘prohibited degrees’ and between ‘sapindas’ which are restricted under the Hindu Marriage Act (of 1955)…one may say that his choice of … [Read more...] about [Section 377] [Day-2,Session-1] We Want The Relationships To Be Protected From Moral Policing : Justice Chandrachud
