New Delhi 15/3: As a Constitutional bench is set to take up the issue of marriage equality in the coming days, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) said it is open to same-sex relationships, but will not accept same-sex marriage.
“Marriage is supposed to be between two opposite genders. It’s not a contract or an instrument of enjoyment,” general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said at a press conference at the end of the annual meet, the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, where he responded to wide-ranging questions.
On a question on the RSS’s position on same-sex marriage, Hosabale said that they support the government’s position on the matter. The BJP government has opposed same-sex marriages, and has told the Supreme Court that allowing same-sex marriages will create “havoc” with various personal laws.
