A.Dear Client,
While same-sex marriage is not illegal in India, there are certain legal implications that come into play. To understand the legal implications of same-sex marriages given that Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 is in force now,
Therefore it is a criminal offence for two consenting adult gay, bisexual and transgender persons to have sex in India. Lesbian women are not criminalized under Sec. 377 as it criminalizes only ‘penile non-vaginal sex’. However, lesbian women are frequently persecuted and prosecuted under false cases of kidnapping and/or theft offences, when partners elope. A gay, bisexual or trans person solemnizing a same-sex marriage in India may be interpreted as ‘intending’ to violate the law under Sec. 377, as ‘consummation of marriage’ by sexual relations is intrinsic to a marriage, as per both social and legal norms.
