Demands for replacing gender-specific terms (e.g., “husband,” “wife”) with inclusive language in laws addressing marriage, sexual offenses, and domestic violence. Proponents cite fundamental rights to equality (Article 14), seeking recognition of same-sex or gender-nonconforming individuals. Opponents fear social disruption or question readiness for broad legislative changes. Courts have partially advanced this conversation (decriminalizing Section 377, 2018). Uniform gender-neutral laws on sexual violence or marriage remain a legislative frontier. The debate underscores how the Constitution’s equality principle can push social and legal reforms that accommodate diverse gender identities, reconfiguring traditional definitions of family and relationships.
