In a country where child marriage, female foetecide and Sati are still practised in some parts amidst much fanfare, how can same-sex marriage be permissible? Political leaders with one foot entangled in the quagmire of religion and both eyes fixed on the seats of power, are there to pounce upon such issues to prove their loyalties to their respective vote banks. In such a social scenario, legal sanction of same-sex marriage is a far cry from reality. However, still we can validly hope for an amendment of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code to the effect that paedophiles, rapists and regular couples are no longer put within the same bracket.
