New Delhi: For the last few days, Union Minister Kapil Sibal has been continuously active. This time, former Congress leader Kapil Sibal asked whether our society is ready for this in the hearing in the Supreme Court regarding the legal recognition of same-sex marriages. Let us tell you that the hearing is going on in the apex court on Tuesday regarding same-sex marriage.
Rajya Sabha MP and lawyer by profession, Kapil Sibal, while tweeting on Tuesday, questioned about gay marriage. He said that the Supreme Court is ready to hear arguments related to giving legal recognition to same-sex marriages, but is our society ready to hear them? Let us tell you that, under the leadership of Chief Justice (CJI) DY Chandrachud, a bench of five judges of the Supreme Court is going to hear all the appeals related to giving legal recognition to same-sex marriages on Tuesday. Apart from CJI Chandrachud, 4 other Justices—SK Kaul, S Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli, and PS Narasimha—are included in this bench.
The matter related to same-sex marriages is going to be heard after at least 15 petitions, which on March 13 of last month were referred to a larger bench, taking an official decision from the CJI-led bench, saying that this is a "very seminal issue".
