The magistrate’s court in a small town of Halol, Vadodara united a lesbian couple on the grounds that they are consenting adults.

According to our constitution u/s 377 it has been stated: “Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall be liable to fine.
Explanation- Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.”

The constitution prohibits carnal intercourse against the order of nature. In the Halol case, the plea given was that Section 377 does not apply to lesbians but only covers sodomy to be punished under it.

The pronouncement of the judgment has given a new turn to relationships and opposes the constitution, which explicitly prohibits unnatural sexual unity.

Sodomy was a punishable offence so as to protect the masses especially the children from sexual exploitation. The pronouncement of the judgment has given way to the acceptance of unnatural relationships. But isn’t the acceptance of unnatural relationship a gateway to sexual abuse!?

Hasn’t the decision of the magistrate’s court given way to lesbianism followed by a demand for the recognition of gay relationships in India?

Where would the recognition of homosexual relationships like lesbians and gays lead our cultural heritage and society to?

If a certain clause has been inserted in the constitution then it must have been a thoughtful insertion and a reason must have been associated with the same inclusion.

The laws must be based on the need of the hour and must change with time but are homosexual relationships the need of the hour!!!???
