On Sunday, the Bar Council of India (BCI) passed a resolution opposing the grant of legal recognition to same-sex marriages in India. BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said the Bar passed the resolution after a joint meeting in the auditorium of the Bar Council of India, which included all the State Bar Councils.
The resolution said, “The Joint meeting is of the unanimous opinion that in view of the sensitivity of the issue of same-sex marriage, having a spectrum of stakeholders from diverse socio-religious backgrounds, it is advisable that this is dealt with after an elaborative consultation process involving different social, religious groups by the competent legislature.”
“As per documented history, ever since the inception of human civilization and culture, marriage has been typically accepted and categorized as a union of biological man and woman for the twin purpose of procreation and recreation. In such background, it would be catastrophic to overhaul something as fundamental as the conception of marriage by any Law Court, howsoever well-intentioned it may be,” Bar Council of India said in its statement.
