RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Supports Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Companionship, Not Marriage
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat acknowledged that LGBTQ individuals are an integral part of society and should be accommodated with dignity. However, he emphasized that marriage in Indian tradition is a social institution centered on family and raising future generations, not merely a partnership between two people. Bhagwat suggested that society must be prepared before legalizing same-sex marriage and proposed creating a separate legal framework to recognize same-sex companionship without altering the existing marriage institution.
