Introduction:
The well-known Telugu Poet and Devadasi Muddupalani (1739–90) wrote “Raadhika- Saantvanam” which was unique in Telugu literature for portraying a woman taking in initiative in trying to be intimate with a man.
The work of around 585 poems was edited in 1910 by the famous Bangalore Nagarthnamma a courtesan which she tried to publish was banned by the British colonial authorities due to its obscenity and against religious faith. The stance of UK on same sex marriage was debated in its parliament on the same religious faith and Freedom but latter made the marriage lawful taking equality a little far.
UK debate on Same sex marriage:
In February, 2013, the The British House of Commons debated on the measure legalising same sex marriage in the Parliament, Piloted by Maria Miller, British culture, Media & Sport Secretary & Women & Equalities Minister convincing the House supporting the Bill. Objections with strong points were debated.
Predominately the validation of civil marriages, Religious beliefs of marriage, Redefining the word “Marriage”, Political Interest in passing the Bill, Equality in same sex marriage, European convention on Human Rights and more.
The parts of the law that allow civil partnerships to be converted into marriages, and allow married people to change their legal gender while remaining married, took effect on 10 December 2014. Same-sex marriages in England and Wales began at midnight on 29 March 2014.
Crux of same sex marriage:
It was kept forward the it was a social advancement giving equality and Right to have a family legalised by law. Showing strength towards the LGBQT groups that they are not alone. Relief from undergoing complex surgeries to for gender change to have a partner. Opposite the Bill, views regarding the stake of contentment in civil partnerships, study of gay relationships which make them physically sick, legal way of realizing Polygamy again in the name of marriage. Church of England observed concern that they will be made forced to do such marriages. Legal issues that will arise after a lawful wedding and as parents of an adopted child. The principle of Separate but Equal was criticised that it never worked out even among Racial differences and the same will be seen in same sex marriages too. House insisted to make decision on “what is right “rather than “what is popular”.
The most debated issue by the people with deep religious belief, was the undermining of the fundamental institution. They might be right. The census about Religion in England and Whales was taken in 2021, with Christianity at 59% and second voted was “No Religion” with 37%.
Conclusion:
Adultery(Sec 497) IPC was decriminalised, which made my maid a destitute women with 3 daughters. Now decriminalizing Homosexuality(Sec 377) IPC will definitely lead to mixed emotion among younsters whether to take it or not. On top of it legalizing their wedding, as debated in the British parliament will legalise polygamy along with it.
Western countries rush up decisions with whatever is popular and the most famous. But a country like India with diversified culture and primitive traditions should move along with its population and holding to moral values. Netflix will never teach sex education with its uncensored and homosexual movies.
Systematic education system emphasizing the equal treatment of TQ groups among the young minds is very important. Empowering those groups should be done by the State which is the need for a global development. Reservations in public sector jobs, where they are denied for a livelihood and monitoring for equal treatment in those places is the protective proactive measure that any state should impulse.
