SC overrules govt objection, begins same sex hearing

If successful, India would become only the third country in Asia to allow same-sex unions, five years after the court decriminalised homosexuality. Around 50 petitioners have argued that denying them the right to wed is unconstitutional and violates their fundamental rights.
