Nitin Gadkari Criticizes Live-In Relationships and Same-Sex Marriages

The Union Minister warned that these practices could destabilize societal norms and the social structure during a recent podcast interview.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari described live-in relationships and same-sex marriages as 'wrong' and 'against societal rules' in a YouTube podcast interview.
He argued that such practices could lead to the collapse of the social structure by undermining traditional societal norms and family systems.
Gadkari expressed concerns about the implications for population dynamics, suggesting that imbalances in the sex ratio might force future governments to consider policies such as polygamy.
He recounted discussions in the British Parliament, where he was told that declining marriage rates among young people were a significant issue in European countries.
The remarks follow a Supreme Court decision last year that denied legal recognition to same-sex marriage but emphasized equal rights for queer individuals.
