πŸ’‘ LGBTQI+ RIGHT TO UNION βœ… OR MARRIAGE❓

βœ“ Case law - Supriyo v. UOI, 2023
βœ“ 5 Judges - 3:2 Split verdict
βœ“ Majority - 3 (Justice Bhat, Hima Kohli J and PS narsimha J) : 2(CJI &
Justice S.K. Kaul)

🎬Flashback- 20 Petitions were filed by Queer couples claiming that Special marriage act (SMA) , foreign marirage act, hindu marriage act are discriminatory as they do not recognise LGBTQI+ marriage.
βœ“Court refused to entertain oersonal laws hence proceeded with SMA

βœ…Issue No. 1 - Adoption Rights to Queer couple.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦DISSENTING opinion by 2 Judges.
β€” Regulation 5(3) is contrary to the spirit and letter of the JJ Act and Section 57 in particular. The assumption made by CARA that only married heterosexual couples can provide a stable household for a child is wrong. There is no single form of a stable household, and the law should not discriminate against unmarried couples, (however individually are allowed)

[Read down 'Marital' to married or unmarried couple as against Article 15, CARA and adoption regulation (delegated legislation) not conforming to JJ Act]

πŸ‘ͺ MAJORITY Opinion
(There is an urgent need of regulation for the protection of rights of Queer parents and children, grey area)

βœ“ Why 57(2) exclusively for married couples because for the protection & "best interest of child" when marriage is broken.

β€” Point- This framework ensures that if one parent abandons the relationship, the other can still maintain themselves and provide for the child, a remedy that couples without legal recognition of marriage are deprived of.

[Thus state had an urgent need to grant the full range of rights to queer parents and children becaus eof no legal recognition]

βœ…Issue No. 2 - Legal Recognition to LGBTQI+ marriage.

The Court also unanimously held that that queer couples have a right to cohabit without any interference but no directions were passed to legally recognise there marriage.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦DISSENTING Opinion
β€”> Freedom of queer community to enter into unions is guaranteed under the Constitution.
β€”> Special marriage act violative of Article 14 but it is the parliament to decide and not court.

πŸ‘ͺMAJORITY Opinion

β˜‘οΈEntitlement to civil union could only be through enacted law.

β˜‘οΈPOINT: Present case is not similar to earlier cases where protection was from violence but here the question of marriage which is a social institution and there could not be an unqualified right to marry which was to be treated as a fundamental right.
 
β˜‘οΈThis matter contains lot of policy making and legislature can do so constitutionally

β˜‘οΈ Queer couple have right to relationship but state is not obliged to protect those rights.

β˜‘οΈ Gender neutral interpretation of the Special Marriage Act may not be equitable and could result in women being exposed to vulnerabilities in an unintended manner (misuse)

β˜‘οΈTransgender persons in heterosexual relationships to marry as per existing law said by CJI (dissent also)

β€” Directed - High powered committee to examine the rights for LGBTQI+ Union.

πŸ’―The conclusions mentioned by justice bhat are final directions given by majority the image is attached below πŸ‘‡

πŸ₯‚πŸΊSection 84, 85 and 86 of Indian penal code.

[Basdev v State of Pepsu AIR 1956]

β€œSo far as knowledge is concerned, we must attribute to the intoxicated man the same knowledge as if he was quite sober. But so far as intent or intention is concerned, we must gather it from the attending general circumstances of the case paying due regard to the degree of intoxication. Was the man beside his mind altogether for the time being? If so it would not be possible to fix him with the requisite intention. But if he had not gone so deep in drinking, and from the facts it could be found that he knew what he was about, we can apply the rule that a man is presumed to intend the natural consequences of his act or acts.”
