Delhi High Court Seeks Centre's Response on Medical Rights for Same-Sex Partners
The Delhi High Court questioned the Centre for not responding to a petition filed over a year ago seeking legal recognition of same-sex partners as medical representatives during treatment. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma highlighted that while live-in relationships between men and women are legally recognized, similar recognition for same-sex couples is lacking. The court noted social challenges faced by same-sex couples and urged the government to clarify its position. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 17.
