Neha Soni, Christ (Deemed to be University), Delhi-NCR


ABSTRACT


Marriage in general sense is a sacred bond which ties two different people into one entity. They become partners known as spouses, they start their own family and be together in the high and low tides throughout the journey of life. Different people have different theories of marriage, religious institutions have different understanding of ‘Marriage’. Right to marry a person of choice has been provided to citizens of India ; required they are above the age of 18. After decriminalizing Section 377 of Indian Penal Code,1860, Homo-sexuality is no more a crime and same-sex couples are free to live in open but still there is a lot of stigma and ambiguity about whether they can legally marry and be recognized as hetero-sexual couples do. This paper is an attempt to present the current situation of gay couples in India who want to marry and be recognized as a legal couple.
