Description

On Tuesday, a five-judge Constitution Bench headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud unanimously declined to recognise same-sex marriages. The judgement came as a significant disappointment to the queer community, which has been advocating for marriage equality and the associated rights, such as those concerning pension, gratuity, property transfer to one's spouse, and the right to adopt.In this episode, we are joined by Indian Express’ Apurva Vishwanath and Premankur Biswas to discuss the court's arguments, the implications of the verdict, and the reactions of the queer community to it.Hosted, written and produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
