The bench said the law provides a framework for the concept of marriage and it is broad enough to take care of later developments such as same-sex relationships.
The Supreme Court Thursday said it may be redefining the evolving notion of marriage as the next step after decriminalising consensual homosexual relationship which implicitly recognised that same-sex people could live in a stable, marriage-like relationship.
In the marriage equality case before the Supreme Court, some petitioners have challenged the provisions of the Special Marriage Act 1954 which require parties intending marriage to give advance notice.
