India's Supreme Court refuses to legalize same-sex marriage, says it is up to govt_我的网站

一 |     NEW DELHI -- India’s top court on Tuesday refused to legalize same-sex marriages, passing the responsibility back to Parliament in a ruling that disappointed campaigners for LGBTQ+ rights in the world's most populous country. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud also urged the government to uphold the rights of the queer community and end discrimination against them. Earlier this year, the five-judge bench heard 21 petitions that sought to legalize same-sex marriage. Chandrachud said there were degrees of agreement and disagreement among the justices “on how far we have to go” on same-sex marriages, but a majority of the judges agreed that the court cannot grant LGBTQ+ people the right to marry as that is a legislative function. “This court can’t make law. It can only interpret it and give effect to it,” the chief justice said, reiterating that it was up to Parliament to decide whether it could expand marriage laws to include queer unions.One of the petitioners, Mario da Penha, said it was “a day to be disappointed but not to lose hope.”“There's been tremendous work that has gone into these petitions, and many hopes and dreams of the queer community attached to them - to lead lives that most other Indians take for granted. The fact that the dream could not come to fruition today is a disappointment for all of us,” he said.He added that it was not yet clear if the court had set a mandate or timeline for Parliament to act. “Without that mandate, there is no pressure on Parliament to enact any legislation.”“There are queer couples today that are already families and in relationships, and are pillars of society. That they are not afforded the dignity and rights that they are due is deeply disappointing,” said Karuna Nundy, one of the lawyers representing the petitioners. Legal rights for LGBTQ+ people in India have been expanding over the past decade, mostly as a result of the Supreme Court’s intervention. In 2018, the top court struck down a colonial-era law that had made gay sex punishable by up to 10 years in prison and expanded constitutional rights for the gay community. The decision was seen as a historic victory for LGBTQ rights, with one judge saying it would “pave the way for a better future."Despite this progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government resisted the legal recognition of same-sex marriage and rejected several petitions in favor. During the hearings, the government argued that a marriage is only between a biological male and a biological woman, adding that same-sex marriages went against religious values and that the petitions reflected only “urban elitist views”. Religious groups too had opposed same-sex unions, saying they went against Indian culture.Adish Aggarwala, the president of the Supreme Court bar association, said the court had done the right thing by recognizing that this was a job for Parliament, an argument the government also made during the hearings. Lawyers for the petitioners argued that marriage is between two people, not just a man and woman. They said concepts of marriage have gradually changed with time and laws should acknowledge that. By not recognizing such unions, the government was depriving same-sex couples of their right to equality enshrined in the constitution and rights enjoyed by married heterosexual couples, from adoption and medical insurance to pensions and inheritance, they argued. “This court needs to push society to acknowledge same-sex marriage,” one of the lawyers said.Petitioners were hopeful that the Supreme Court could challenge the government’s position.But even as some of the justices urged that the state must make sure queer couples don't face harassment or discrimination in accessing basic needs, like opening a joint bank account, they stopped short of granting legal recognition to same-sex unions. Instead, the court accepted the government's offer to set up a special panel that will explore granting social and legal benefits to same-sex couples. Homosexuality has long carried a stigma in India’s traditional society, even though there has been a shift in attitudes toward same-sex couples in recent years. India now has openly gay celebrities and some high-profile Bollywood films have dealt with gay issues. According to a Pew survey, acceptance of homosexuality in India increased by 22 percentage points to 37% between 2013 and 2019.But same-sex couples often face harassment in many Indian communities, whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian.India is estimated to have at least 2.5 million LGBTQ+ people, according to government figures from 2012. However, gay rights activists and global estimates believe they number at least 10% of the population, or more than 135 million.In May, Taiwan became the first jurisdiction in Asia to recognize same-sex marriages. In July, Nepal's Supreme Court issued an interim order enabling the registration of same-sex marriages for the first time. It is still not clear when the court would make its final decision on the case.。    AI摘要      美海岸警卫队赴台训练，日菲战机联合飞行。专家指美方借执法合作深化介入，助台打造不对称战力；台军反封锁演练被指伪命题，难改台海力量对比现实。         据中央广播电视总台《海峡两岸》 近日报道，美国海岸警卫队机动辅训团抵台开展为期两周的所谓“小艇操作、团队部署与巡逻”训练，日本预警机与菲律宾战机亦在菲周边空域开展联合飞行。台军也跟着强化所谓“反封锁能力”，声称意在深化所谓台美海巡专业交流。相关举动引发外界高度关注。    据了解，此次窜台的机动辅训团是美国海岸警卫队海外培训机制的一部分，主要任务是向所谓“合作伙伴”输送海上执法、渔业检查、港口维护及小艇操作等培训课程。

二 |     “这暴露出美台双方两方面的危险动向。”海疆问题专家王晓鹏指出，一是美国介入台海安全形势的手段进一步多样化，继所谓“联合训练”、对台军售后，又将“海上执法合作”纳入介入手段；二是此举与美国近年来海洋战略的升级调整密切相关，提出所谓“海上优势战略”，重中之重就是将海军与海岸警卫队力量有机融合，特别是将海岸警卫队船只（即“白船”）引入西太平洋关键区域，试图以这种低敏感度、常态化、专业化的“合作”模式，推动相关介入行为进一步深化。    有分析认为，美方此次培训重点聚焦小艇操作科目，旨在帮助台方打造所谓的“不对称战力”。

三 | 大陆军事观察员郑剑表示，利用小艇执行任务，主要涉及8吨级的多功能海岸巡逻艇、K-920特战突击艇、大舰携带的工作艇三类。在近距离对峙乃至所谓“灰色地带”冲突场景中，小艇更容易以短兵相接的方式执行任务，此次演练的“小艇操作、团队部署与巡逻”，实质上是演练整个艇群在双方激烈对峙或复杂场面下的协同应对能力。

四 |     台湾时事评论员赖岳谦表示，美方此前高调公布美海警船与台海巡船并航照片，紧接着又派海警人员赴台培训，企图向台湾释放“对台承诺牢不可破”的信号，然而此举并未获得台湾民众信任，在岛内的评价也不是很高。赖岳谦指出，美国自身在中东的军事困境以及美军内部的诸多问题，已经让台湾民众对于美国的作战力抱持相当大的疑问。

五 |     除了美台之间的军事勾连，日本与菲律宾也在进行频密互动。近日，日本航空自卫队宣布，一架从澳大利亚完成训练返航的E-2D“鹰眼”预警机，在菲律宾周边空域与菲律宾空军F/A-50战斗机开展联合飞行训练。

六 |     王晓鹏对此表示，日方所谓“顺道”联合行动实为刻意安排，日本已将深度介入美菲联合军演纳入2026年年度计划，此举目的有二：一是训练日本预警机与菲律宾战机之间的空中联动能力；二是配合美国印太战略调整，日本走向台前，推动“日美菲澳”四边机制在军事层面逐步取代过去的老四边机制。    而在台军“汉光42号”演习的最后几日，台海巡部门首度与台海军执行所谓联合反封锁护航任务，在台湾东部海域护送载运关键战略物资的商货船进入花莲港及苏澳港。赖岳谦认为，台军舰队数量远少于解放军东部战区，台湾的海巡跟大陆的海警也不成比例，反封锁能力势必极为有限，因此这种演练“看看就好”。

七 |     面对台军借着演练“秀肌肉”的动作，王晓鹏表示，一旦发生海上高强度对抗，有关商船能否进出各个港口取决于制海权、制空权、海上航道维持能力、后勤保障与情报获取能力，而非几艘海巡船只的伴航。台当局大肆炒作反封锁议题，更多是出于舆论宣传考量，所谓“逃生通道”很大程度上是个伪命题。    舆论指出，美日近期接连在台岛周边刷存在感，看似阵仗不小，但距离真正形成一体化作战体系却相距甚远。把几次联合行动炮制成所谓威慑，也改变不了台海力量对比的基本现实。

八 | 民进党当局如果把这种热闹当成依靠的话，恐怕最终只能是自欺欺人。
