REUTERS/Francis MascarenhasNEW DELHI, April 17 - Court appeals in India to legalise same-sex marriage are "urban elitist views", the government has said in a new court document that seeks the dismissal of the challenge and says that parliament is the right platform to debate the matter.
"Dismiss the present batch of petitions on grounds of maintainability," said the 102-page filing, which added that any court decision to recognise same-sex marriage would mean a "virtual judicial rewriting of an entire branch of law". The government said it had to "take into account broader views and voice of all rural, semi-rural and urban population, views of religious denominations".
