Same-sex marriage: Verdict upset my plans, says Dutee Chand

In 2019, Dutee came out as lesbian, the first Indian athlete to disclose a same-sex relationship. “I plan to marry my partner Monalisa. But the decision of the apex court has upset all plans. I have been living with Monalisa for five years. We are happy together and as adults, we have every right to make our own decisions. We hope Parliament passes a law allowing same-sex marriages,” Dutee said.
