Deed of Familial Association Could Support Queer Couples' Rights

Some laws in India treat same-sex couples unfairly, like taxing gifts between partners.

A couple has sued the government about this.

The Supreme Court said that while there is no right to marry, queer people have the right to relationships.

The government is trying to help, but it's hard to know who is in a queer relationship.

To fix this, the author suggests using a Deed of Familial Association (DoFA).

This would be an official document that recognizes same-sex partnerships, making it easier for couples to get the same rights as everyone else.
