  • Note field is incorrect "It is probably a reference to Lila Namdeo and Urmila Srivastava, who held a wedding ceremony. However, their marriage wasn't legally recognised and they were terminated from their job immediately after their wedding got press attention. Page 176 of the following report [https://archive.org/details/less-than-gay-abva/page/176/mode/2up]"
  • Newer law has been passed "The Marriage between a transgender and cismen has been legalised in the Kerela High Court in Arunkumar and Sreeja v. The Inspector General of Registration & Others"
