Is the concept of marriage less exclusionary in our country? In the context of same-sex marriage, discuss the need for a multi-pronged approach to deal with issue of prejudice and discrimination prevalent in society against them. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • In the introduction briefly explain current context – highlight the case before Kerala high court.
  • In the body discuss the features of Special Marriage Act first. Explain in what way it discriminates against same sex couples who want to formalize their relationship through marriage. Analyse the aspects of the rights of same-sex couples. Discuss the social purpose of marriage in general and in what way Indian society is yet to re-look at the old and outdated practices. Suggest measures that need to be taken to make marriage more inclusive in the country.
  • Conclude that it’s high time for our society to put an end to the homophobic tradition and make marriage, as an institution, as a legal concept, more accessible and egalitarian, less arbitrary and
    exclusionary.

      Social significance of marriage is well explained.

      Hi Chester
      Lackluster introduction, briefly explain current context – highlight the case before Kerala high court.
      Keep your content updated with current affairs to fetch better marks.
      Be specific in your headings, instead of giving heading ‘why this is an issue’ , write ‘problems with same sex marriage in India’.
      Work on presentation of your answer to fetch better marks.
      Rest of the content is good and well placed.
      Good conclusion.
      Avoid using unnecessary capital alphabets in between of a sentence.
      Avoid grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
      Persistence is the key to success,keep writing !

      Hi PS0095
      Good introduction.
      Before writing about the restrictions on homosexual couples, explain briefly the challenges posed to SMA 1954.
      Use of flow chart is appreciable.
      Explain how recognition of same-sex marriage will enrich the democratic culture in India .
      In the approach part, all the points are good except education one, instead of telling them the demerits of unnatural family, educate them how to deal with the challenges.
      Good conclusion.
      Overall a decent attempt.
      Keep writing,you will succeed.

      Hi Uttam
      Lackluster introduction, mention the recent Kerala high court case.
      You have deviated from the demand of the question, the question is not asking the various perspectives of marriage, instead it is asking the problems with same sex marriage and how to deal with it.
      Read mentor’s comment before writing.
      Work on content.
      Take a clue from Deepika’s answer for content and structure.

      Hi Unnati
      Good introduction.
      Work on presentation, leave some space between the lines and after the paragraphs.
      You have explained the SMA in a good manner.
      Explain briefly how the petition before the Kerala High Court represents a unique opportunity towards making marriage more exclusionary.
      Way forward is well explained but conclusion is missing.
      Conclude that it’s high time for our society to put an end to the homophobic tradition and make marriage, as an institution, as a legal concept, more accessible and egalitarian, less arbitrary and exclusionary.
      Rest of the content is decent .
