Rohatgi: May I continue for half an hour tomorrow?

Rohatgi: When you deny me the right of marriage, you deny me citizenship. If you deny me citizenship, you are saying you're no good, you're not equal to a citizen under preamble so you stay where you are.

Rohatgi: I am not perceived as a criminal but I am still perceived as a person who is not as good, unworthy of standing shoulder to shoulder in public arena.

Rohatgi: This argument cannot be raised that leave it to parliament, because your lordships are the protector of fundamental rights.

Rohatgi: So we must have it too. I request this court to grant it to us.

Rohatgi: In the Indian society, every parent wants their child to be settled. One of the aspects of settlement is not only to choose your education and vocation but also marriage, family.

Rohatgi: Yes. Take the example of reservations. Why were they introduced? There was inequality for various reasons. State gave affirmative action to bring them up so as to be at par.

CJI DY Chandrachud: But equally, each of us are social individuals and therefore for society to assert that we'll leave you alone, we will deny you the recognition of those social relationships which go to the fulfillment of life. That according to you is wrong.
