Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The constitutional potential for recognising queer chosen families in India has had a complex trajectory. Tracing the evolution of jurisprudence from Naz Foundation v Govt of NCT of Delhi (2009) to the Madras High Court decision in 2025, it argues that the rights to dignity, equality, and association under Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 provide a legal basis for protecting non-normative kinship. Drawing on feminist and queer theory, the article critiques the law’s continued attachment to heteronormative family forms and calls for a shift from individual rights to relational recognition.-Reproduced
