Supriyo v. Union of India The petition requested the
Supreme Court to recognise the
marriage between any two persons, regardless of
gender identity and
sexual orientation, and declare the notice and objection provisions as void, by enforcing the
fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles
14,
15,
19 and
21 of the
Indian Constitution. In October 2020, Vaibhav Jain and Parag Vijay Mehta filed a petition in
Delhi High Court and they were joined by other petitioners over the course of time. On 6 January 2023, their petitions were transferred to
Supreme Court to be heard along with
Supriyo v. Union of India (2023). Additionally, most of the petitioners challenged the notice and objection provisions of the
Special Marriage Act of 1954 and the Foreign Marriage Act which hurt vulnerable minorities. == References ==
