New Delhi: Amid the Supreme Court ongoing hearing regarding the same-sex marriage, a group of former judges, former IPS officers and former bureaucrats wrote an open letter to President Droupadi Murmu to intervene.

In the letter, the delegation called for the President’s intervention to save “Indian cultural traditions, religious tenets and social values.”

“…If we revise the law to make same-sex sexual union rational, acceptable or moral, it will open the doors to same-sex sexual culture. Our society and culture do not accept same-sex behavioural institution because it is offensive to our values, besides being irrational and unnatural..,” read the letter.

“It is widely appreciated that same-sex relationship cannot create long-term or stable institutions; and if they are allowed to adopt children, they cannot maintain stable and long-lasting relationships with their families, parents, relatives and partners. The health and future of such children will be severely compromised,” said the delegation in the letter.

“India cannot afford that its future generations live in such an atmosphere, which surely will produce more gays and lesbians, and tear apart and destroy the institutions of ‘family’ and ‘society’ irreparably. They won’t know about their parents, ancestors, culture, religious tenets and age-old values,” it further added.
