New dimensions of marriage

The ongoing hue and cry for the same sex marriages and the reported acceptance of the hearing of the petitions in the context by the ape court is nonetheless an important issue to address and discuss,

The Bench comprises of five judges including the CJI shall initiate the hearing from 18th of March, however, the parliament is of opinion that the important issue with far-reaching effects in view of its social fabric and the repercussion the issue might be discussed and ascertained at the level of the parliament but the CJI and other judges have made an important statement that it is a seminal issue and hence an important matter. As such the SC has the main responsibilities of saying the interests of the fundamental rights and the nations across the globe has agreed to these societal changes after referendum and in certain instances studying the pros and cons and the same probably must be initiated in the large size and populated nation like India that is well known for its unity and diversity and the coexistence irrespective of the various cultures and traditions All the judges are of opinion of the bench that the SC is shouldering a responsibility and the implications of which might have long term impact on the societal behavior hence the healthy discussion on the platform of the parliament as well is of significance.

The adoption is obviously going to be at its higher side but the issues coupled with such lesbian or homosexuals shall be the psychology of the child brought up under such circumstances whether the development and proper brought up of such cases of the child will be easier said than done because the child of such couple will not necessarily be lesbian or homo yet the challenges for him with the kind of the parents already with the challenges at their doorstep to live up with will also foresee the struggle for the existence of such specially brought up children.

So in nutshell the issue is not that simple that needs a discussion of a specific time and ascertain the suitability yet the final legislation is very responsibly to be instituted   at least right at this inception stage the same appears like yet the faster acceptance and changes in the future to visit might change the shape and the challenges of the concept hope fully.
