Same-sex marriages refer to marriages between two individuals of the same gender. In India, same-sex marriages are not currently legal, although there are ongoing efforts to recognize and legalize them. This topic is important because it relates to the fundamental human rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and the recognition and protection of their relationships. Legalizing same-sex marriage would not only provide legal recognition and protection for LGBTQ+ couples but al so promote greater social acceptance and reduce discrimination against the community. It is an important issue for LGBTQ+ rights activists and advocates around the world, and its significance extends beyond the legal sphere to broader social and cultural attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community. The purpose of this research paper is to understand and study the social stigma in detail attached to the connotation of word "homosexuality" and "same sex marriages'' in India and how it affects the fundamental right of life and liberty at the same time violates their right to live with dignity under Article 21 of Indian constitution.
