Marriage Injustice: Exploring Legal and Social Impact on LGBTQA+ Rights in India
This article examines the widespread injustices faced by gender and sexual minority groups in India regarding marriage rights-focusing on the legal and social implications of denying them the right to marry. Despite being a symbol of cultural diversity, India continues to uphold outdated legal frameworks that exclude LGBTQ+individuals from the institution of marriage. Through a thoughtful analysis of historical contexts, legal developments and their societal impact, this article aims to uncover the systemic discrimination and injustice experienced by these communities. It also explores the far- reaching consequences of such exclusion including its harmful effects on individual well-being and the broader struggle for societal equality.
