Same-sex marriages illegal, but queer families valid: Madras HC
The Madras High Court clarified that although Indian law does not permit same-sex marriages, queer couples can still be part of a family unit if they want to. This remark came during a case where the court ordered the release of 25-year-old woman confined by her birth family for being in a same-sex relationship, affirming that adults cannot be forcibly kept for their personal relationship choices.
