However, marriage rights were granted to couples where one or both members were transgender.
The acceptance of same-sex couples in India grew in the wake of the 2018 ruling that entitled them to welfare benefits.
Lawyers for several same-sex couples urged the court earlier this year to grant their relationships full legal recognition, but the five-member bench ruled that extending marriage equality was a parliamentary decision. It did, however, grant marriage rights to couples where one or both members were transgender, provided one participant in the union identified as a man and the other as a woman.
“This court has recognised that equality demands that queer unions and queer persons are not discriminated against.” “Any interference…would cause a complete havoc with the delicate balance of personal laws in the country and in accepted societal values”, the government said in its submission. “I am disheartened by today’s ruling,” he told AFP. “As long as the BJP is there in power I don’t see a judgement coming in our favour in the near future.”
