The apex court is hearing a batch of petitions, one of which was filed by Supriyo Chakraborty and Abhay Dang, two gay men living in Hyderabad seeking that the right to marry a person of one’s choice should extend to LGBTQIA+ citizens as well.
Supriyo and Abhay have been a couple for almost 10 years. They both contracted COVID-19 during the second wave of the pandemic and when they recovered, they decided to have a wedding-cum-commitment ceremony to celebrate the ninth anniversary of their relationship.
However, despite the same, they do not enjoy the rights of a married couple, the plea pointed out.
