The petitioners had prompted the Delhi High Court to proclaim the marriages in between any type of 2 persons regardless of their sex be solemnised under the Unique Marital Relationship Act (SMA).
\" Cohabiting as partners and also having sexual partnership by exact same sex individual is not similar with Indian family unit principle of a husband, spouse and kids which infers an organic male as 'other half', a biological female as 'better half' as well as kids born out of union,\" the Centre said.
