Add to manifesto: Recognize same-sex marriages

Updated the description to "Marriage between any two individuals without any discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity should be recognized as legal. All benefits of marriage should be available to same-sex couples as well."

Whatever definitions and benefits are there currently should be extended to include same-sex couples. I don't think we need to redefine it.

It isn't like everything is well-defined in law or language.

Way better. Thanks. It clarifies the meaning.

That is a good way to put it. I agree.

Yes, you are right. But as we see that there are many views on the terms "gender" and "sex" as you shared above, I get confused. So it is helpful to clarify what we mean by "gender" and "sex". What does court mean by these terms? I have a question on marriage: Doesn't the law identify polygamy as valid for some religions and invalid for others? <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolygamyinIndia#Legal_developments>. Also, since religion is in the question, we also need to add that we recognize "irreligion" in India as it is not already recognized by law <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IrreligioninIndia#Legalstatus,rightsandlaws>.

Confusion on the legal definition of this term is one thing. If we think about bringing religion too into this discussion, do we still have commonly accepted age restrictions to prevent child marriage. Each religion is having its own concessions regarding something very basic like age.

I think @Ravi Dwivedi added these comments here by mistake. He has started another thread on that topic https://codema.in/d/93TMaNzh/add-to-manifesto-recognize-irreligion-as-legally-valid

I don't think we need to cater to every possible issues, if someone comes out and say they have a problem, we can consider it. Same-sex marriage is a demand that people have and lets not mix up other things in this thread.
