Abstract

Marriage, is the union of two individuals. In the majority of developed countries, the traditional definition of wedding as “a union between a man and a woman is increasingly giving way to the union of two people, regardless of gender.” Nonetheless, there is uncertainty in Indian law regarding the legality of same-sex unions and the implications and rights that would follow if they were approved. Since homosexuality is typically perceived as a Western phenomenon, it might be difficult to embrace on both a social and legal level. Since Supreme Court has already partly decriminalised section 377 the next approach appears to be to legalise same-sex unions. The researcher examines the Evolutionary journey of same-sex unions in the diverse landscape of India, exploring societal perspectives, and legal intricacies involved. Furthermore, the paper critically evaluates the legal frameworks governing same-sex unions in India, analysing the impact of key judicial pronouncements and legislative measures.
