On the sixth day of the Supreme Court hearing on marriage equality for the LGBTQ+ community, the five-judge Constitutional bench presiding over the matter said it's time to update the laws. The statement came after the Centre's counsel, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that legal terms cannot be gender-neutral. The Centre maintains that marriage is a legislative subject and beyond the judiciary's ambit.
