      Dwivedi: Let it evolve. Heterosexuals have reached here after ages. Since Navtej, it has only been four and a half years. Let there be more debate, more acceptance. Let the parliament feel more confident that something can be done.

      Dwivedi: These are regulatory. But it is not limited to those who are inter faith. But they have a choice. And they don't depend on this. Form of marriage is also not prescribed under SMA.

      Dwivedi: You strike down. Heterosexuals will have no problem if it is struck down. Our marriages don't vest on any of these laws. They rely on customs and personal laws.

      Justice Bhat: Those who belong to the same faith, for them it is no problem. But those who belong to different faiths- for them it is a loss.

      Dwivedi: This prayer to discard originalism- we're not advancing some fundamental right here. Question is statutory rights- SMA as it exists, can we discard its intention?

      Dwivedi: The parliament has committees, law commission - all these tools are available to parliament. This adjudication is happening in the absence of States. Entry 5 is in concurrent list.
