Disappointed by verdict, plans put off

Couples in India were left disappointed after the Supreme Court declined to legalize same-sex marriage. Many had made plans for marriage, property ownership, and adoption. The verdict was seen as a setback, with some feeling that nothing had changed and that their rights were not adequately protected. The decision was described as conservative and a missed opportunity for India to be a progressive leader. Despite the ruling, some couples remain hopeful and determined to fight for their rights in the future.
