SC seeks Centre's response on legalising same-sex marriages
印度最高法院就同性婚姻合法化寻求中央的回应
NEW DELHI: Four years after decriminalising consensual private sexual relationship between adults of LGBTQ+ communities, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to examine legalising same-sex marriages in India as it sought the Union government's response to the pleas of two gay couples for making Special Marriage Act (SMA), 1954, gender-neutral.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli issued notice to the Centre and asked it to file its response in four weeks to two petitions.
新德里:在同性恋群体间自愿的私人性关系合法四年后,本周五最高法院同意审查印度同性婚姻合法化问题,希望联邦政府对近期两对同性恋夫妇提出的基于1954年不分性别的《特殊婚姻法》的结婚请求做出回应。
首席大法官迪·钱德拉朱德和法官伊马·科利向中央政府发函,要求于四周内对两份结婚申请作出裁决。
The SC also enlisted the assistance of attorney general R Venkataramani by issuing notice to him.
Seeking a gender-neutral Special Marriage Act and therefore legalisation of marriages of the LGBTQ+ community, petitioners in the Supreme Court said because of denial of the right to marry, same-sex couples are denied basic and elementary rights of adopting and parenting children, enjoying property rights through inheritance and succession, and mental peace, which together have a debilitating effect on their emotion and health, thus violating their basic fundamental rights.
最高法院还抄送总检察长R Venkataramani,希望得到他的协助。
申请人在最高法院表示,希望通过《特别婚姻法》使同性恋群体的婚姻合法化,称由于被剥夺了婚姻权利,同性伴侣被剥夺了收养和养育子女、通过遗产和继承获得财产权以及精神安宁等基本权利,影响了他们的情感和健康,侵犯了他们的基本权利。
The petitioners - two same-sex couples - said non-recognition of same-sex marriage is an act of discrimination that strikes at the root of dignity and self-fulfilment of the LGBTQ+ couples. "Structural changes as well as attitudinal changes are essential for the members of the LGBTQ+ community and for their families. Equality is not achieved with the discrimination of homosexuality alone but must extend to all spheres of life, including the home, workplace and public places," they said.
申请人是两对同性伴侣,他们表示,不承认同性婚姻是一种歧视行为,打击了同性伴侣的尊严和自我实现的根源。“对于同性恋群体和他们的家庭来说,结构上的改变和态度上的改变都是至关重要的。平等必须延伸到生活的方方面面,包括家庭、工作场所和公共场所,”他们说。
The SC had said, "The choice of whom to partner, the ability to find fulfilment in sexual intimacies and the right not to be subjected to discriminatory behaviour is intrinsic to the constitutional protection of sexual orientation. Members of LGBTQ are entitled to the benefit of an equal citizenship, without discrimination, and to equal protection of law."
最高法院表示,“选择伴侣、在性亲密关系中获得满足的能力以及不受歧视行为的权利,是宪法对性取向保护的内在规定。同性恋群体有权享受平等、不受歧视的公民权,享受平等的法律保护。”

What is Raul’s opinion on this positive move by the Supreme Court? Why does he stay silent on LGBTQRSW /- issues? Why does he show shame for something so natural that this community has suffered so long. Does he not realize that he can finally settle down and not have to Bangkok furtively?
拉胡尔对最高法院的这一积极举措有何看法?为什么他对同性恋群体的问题保持沉默呢?为什么他对这种自然的事情感到羞耻,这个群体已经承受了长时间的苦难。难道他没有意识到,他也可以安定下来,不用再偷偷摸摸地去曼谷了吗?

Actually only two minority religions in India have strong aversion to gays. So Congress waa too afraid to touch this topic as also the topic of decriminalization.
事实上,在印度只有两个少数宗教对同性恋强烈厌恶。所以国大党不敢触及这个话题,也不敢触及合法化的话题。

It seems that, leftist liberals in SC has huge soft corner & time for LGBT community even though present constitution & most religions bars it! They want to do everything in their power to forcefully impose their leftist athiest ideology prevalent nowadays in Europe & America. Shameful!
尽管现行宪法和大多数宗教都禁止同性恋,最高法的左派自由主义者对同性恋群体还是很偏袒的!他们想在权力范围内竭力推行欧美盛行的左派意识形态。真可耻。

Is justice at door for poor Indians? Or elitist judiciary engages only on issues that concerns rich? Three generations of poor or lower middle class pass away seeking justice over their livelihood, property and honour but no judgement forthcoming yet the Apex Court has time to dwell on such social issues of very few.
印度穷人能享受公正吗?精英阶层司法系统是不是只受理跟富人有关的案件?三代穷人或中下层阶级为自己的生计、财产和荣誉寻求正义,到死也没有等来判决,但最高法院却有时间考虑这些极少数人的社会问题。

same sex marriage is a fraud to cheat the govt and employers for undeserving benefits. if the only purpose of it is only for adoption,singles should be allowed to adopt instead.
同性婚姻是欺骗政府和雇主获得不合理福利的骗局。如果同性婚姻的唯一目的只是为了收养,那么我们应该允许单身人士收养子女。
