India's Supreme Court has declined to legalize same-sex marriage, instead referring the matter to parliament. The government, led by the BJP, maintains its opposition to same-sex marriage. The court has formed a committee to address the human concerns of same-sex couples, but discussions on same-sex marriage will not be a part of the committee's focus. The court has also refused to legalize same-sex marriage, citing a lack of authority to rule on the matter and opposition from the government. The LGBTQ community in India continues to fight for fundamental rights and benefits.
