Love Laws and the Rights of LGBT+ Persons

By mayank | LGBTQ+, Love Laws | 0 comment | 23 February, 2021 | 0

Navtej Singh Johar vs. Union of India was one of the most widely discussed cases since 2018, and rightly so, for it overturned an archaic provision from India’s penal law and granted the LGBT community equal rights and protection under law. But what are the implications of this judgement? What are the rights that members of the LGBT+ community received after the judgment? Can same-sex couples now marry under Indian law? What is the legal recourse available to a person when they face discrimination and violence on the basis of their gender identity or sexual orientation? Watch this video to find out.
