This is the first book to examine the same-sex weddings and
same-sex couple suicides reported in India over the last two
decades. Ruth Vanita examines these cases in the context of a wide
variety of same-sex unions, from Fourteenth-century narratives
about co-wives who miraculously produce a child together, to
Nineteenth-century depictions of ritualized unions between women,
to marriages between gay men and lesbians arranged over the
internet. Examining the changing legal, literary, religious and
social Indian and Euro-American traditions within which same-sex
unions are embedded, she brings a fresh perspective to the gay
marriage debate, suggesting that same-sex marriage dwells not at
the margins but at the heart of culture. Love's Rites by Ruth
Vanita is a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award.
