Abstract
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 Despite being a symbol of cultural diversity, India continues to uphold outdated legal frameworks that exclude LGBTQ+individuals from the institution of marriage.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.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
