LGBT activists fume after India says same-sex marriage not fundamental right 2 minutes read
Srinagar, India, Feb 26 (efe-epa).- Outraged LGBT activists on Friday vowed to intensify their rights campaign after the government refused to recognize same-sex marriage because it is incompatible with Indian ethos.
In response to a plea by rights activist, the government Thursday told a Delhi court that matrimonial affairs were governed by religious laws as per faith-based customs that recognize only the union of a man and a woman for a statutory sanction.
“Personal laws recognize only heteronormative marriages. Interference in this would cause havoc with the delicate balance of personal laws,” the government said.
