BCI Passed A Resolution Asking SC To Let The Government Deal With Same-Sex Marriage

A meeting was held by the Bar Council of India (BCI) on Sunday where they passed a resolution, stating that they want the Supreme Court of India to let the government deal with the issue of same-sex marriage.

The reason they want the government to handle it is that India is a very diverse country, with lots of different beliefs, and any decision about something that could change society should be made by the people who we elect to make laws (that's the legislative process). They think that if the Supreme Court decides on same-sex marriage, it could be bad for future generations.

The statement that was released said that the issue of same-sex marriage is a really sensitive topic, and lots of different groups of people have strong opinions about it. A few are contending that it's just a test being done by a few people. So, the people who made the statement agreed together that the issue of same-sex marriage should be handled carefully. The BCI is of the view that everyone who has a stake in the issue, including people from different religious and social groups, should be asked for their opinion before any decision is made. And they want the government to do this since they are the ones who can make laws.

The resolution further said that the law is something that shows what society thinks is right and wrong, and religion is a big part of that. It has a big influence on what the laws are and what people think is normal in a society.

The statement pointed out that throughout human history and culture, marriage has been thought of as a special thing between a man and a woman. It was seen as a way to have children and have fun together. The statement thinks that changing such a basic idea of what marriage is, even if people are trying to do the right thing, could be bad.

The statement asked the Supreme Court to understand how most people in the country feel about this and to let the government decide what to do about same-sex marriage.
