Abstract

LGBTQIA+ community across the world has been fighting tooth and nail for their rights and   establishing their legal identity across the globe. From fighting for rights of equal opportunity to equal recognition of their capabilities, this community has seen it all. From one but huge victory by decriminalizing of Section 377 of IPC, to claiming recognition to same- sex marriage in India, we have come a long way.

Supreme Court in the petition for Same-Sex Marriage rights, it was well observed that it would hurdle the whole fraternity of Personal Laws. But what was completely out of picture during the debate of this petition was the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). The lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) population faces more difficult outcomes compared to the heterosexual population “across different life domains, including mental and physical health, subjective wellbeing, employment, poverty, homelessness, and social exclusion. IPV in the LGBTQ population has not been studied as frequently as in the heterosexual population.
