The petitioner has stated in the petition that even after the Supreme Court's decision to keep homosexual relations out of the guilt category, marriages between gay couples are not possible. Even before this, the Delhi High Court on October 14 sought the reply from the Modi government of the Center on the petition filed by two women demanding permission to marry under the Special Marriage Act.
