The pleas seeking its legal recognition failed 2-3 at the doorstep of the Supreme Court’s five-judge bench headed by the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud

The bench said it will restrict itself to the Special Marriage Act, 1954, and not broaden the canvas. Through the pleas, the petitioners are seeking wider constitutional entitlements based on the right to life and personal liberty and other related rights.
