Sr Adv Shadan Farasat: I appear for two professors... ... Sabarimala Reference : Live Updates From Supreme Court 9-Judge Bench [Day 14]
Sr Adv Shadan Farasat: I appear for two professors who are scheduled caste and married each other. first question on constitutional morality: in a case like this, it is ease to present a false binary- it is not a question of whether it is constitutional or public morality?
people of india has given to themselves the values so it cannot not be public morality. general morality can differ from constitutional morality-in large cases it lies in the same realm. for instance, having sexual relations with children below 18-both constittuional and religious morality will prevent it.
public morality can just be prejudice of the society at that time. I have given a survey in 2025, most than 60% are against inter-caste marriages.
CJI: how to rely, everybody knows how these surveys are tailored. it can't be of people sitting in AC rooms with prejudged agenda in academic terms [saying what is morality]
J Nagarathna: why do you say people marrying each other is prejudice?
CJI: if you ask parents and grandparents, they would say this and if you ask the young they would say otherwise
