Abstract

Research on same-sex relationships has informed policy debates and legal decisions that greatly affect American families, yet the data and methods available to scholars studying same-sex relationships have been limited. Homosexual individuals in India confront lawful and social troubles not experienced by non-LGBT people. Sexual action between individuals of a similar sex is illicit and same sex couples legitimately can't wed or acquire a common association. Before 2018, be that as it may, the Supreme Court is good to go to rethink whether to sanction same-sex sexual action and a draft Uniform Civil Code. Same-sex sexual action lawful status decriminalized in 2009, decriminalized in 2013, illicit under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code Punishment up to life imprisonment or with imprisonment of either description which may extend to 10 years and shall also be liable to fine. Most LGBT individuals in India stay in the wardrobe, in dread of separation from families, who consider homosexuality to be shameful.
