New Delhi: BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi on Monday urged the government to strongly oppose any attempt to grant legal sanctity to same-sex marriage in the country. Raising the issue during Zeo Hour in Rajya Sabha he claimed that certain Left-Liberal people along with activists are trying to get legal recognition to same-sex marriage in India.
Making his opposition clear against any attempts, Modi alleged that the granting of legal recognition to same sex marriage would reek havoc on the delicate balance to personal laws in the country. He also highlighted the importance of the institution of marriage in the country.
"In India, same-sex marriage is neither recognized nor accepted in any uncodified personal law like the Muslim Personal Law or any codified statutory laws. Same sex marriage would cause complete havoc with a delicate balance of personal laws in the country," said Modi.
