A breakthrough for equality ❤️
Jharkhand High Court rules that once you marry under the Special Marriage Act, only the Act applies—not religious personal laws.
No one can take a second spouse using religious loopholes.
No one can deny conjugal rights.
No one can override your rights because of religion.
A win for women.
A win for freedom.
A win for India.

#MarriageEquality: The Answer May Lie in #Section15 of the #SpecialMarriageAct.
All #laws dealing with #solemnisation and consequent #registration are #genderspecific and do not provide any scope for non-male+female #marriage and registration. But Section 15 is a unique provision.
#SpecialMarriageAct Rules must be reconsidered in #india.
The #notice #period #regime in the Special Marriage Act renders #couples vulnerable. The courts must take cognisance of this problem.

Meet The #Judges Sitting For The #SupremeCourt #SameSexMarriage #Hearing

Love, Sex & ‘Chosen’ Family: Inside India’s Battle For The Right to Marry A Partner Of The Same Sex
As the Narendra Modi government defines marriage as ‘between biological man & biological woman’ & refers to the institution using phrases such as ‘age-old customs’, ‘societal values’, ‘holy union’ and ‘sanskar’, we talk to the people and examine the petitions before the Supreme Court, which must now decide on the ‘seminal’ issue of same-sex marriage.
