With recent government stand on LGBTQA marriage recognition and widespread problems that these couples face regarding adoptions and starting a family, the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) had issued a statement that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that marriage and adoption are not viable for individuals who identify as LGBTQA. 

The IPS further elaborated the deteriorating mental health condition of such individuals because of the ignorance of their rights. 

This becomes further important as the Supreme Court would start hearing the case for recognition of same-sex marriage on April 18.
