Delhi High Court hears plea highlighting that same-sex partners are “effectively powerless” to make medical decisions for each other. Petitioner argues current rules only allow “husband or wife” to give medical consent, violating constitutional rights.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that a family cannot stop an adult woman from living with a same-sex partner. The decision came after a woman claimed her partner was forcibly held by her family. The court stressed the importance of individual freedom and the right to choose one’s partner, regardless of gender. This ruling reflects growing support for LGBTQ+ rights in India.
