ABSTRACT
This paper explores the contentious issue of same-sex marriage and its alignment with natural, societal, and scriptural norms. As debates surrounding same-sex marriage intensify across the globe, this paper examines whether such unions fundamentally contravene established norms and values. The analysis is divided into three core perspectives: the natural order, societal conventions, and religious teachings across major faiths, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Through a comparative review of global perspectives and legal frameworks, alongside a survey of societal attitudes, the paper reveals the evolving but contested status of same-sex marriage. While many societies have begun to recognize same-sex unions as a matter of human rights, significant opposition rooted in traditional and religious beliefs persists. The findings highlight the complexities of integrating same-sex marriage into societies that value both progress and cultural heritage, underscoring the need for further dialogue and understanding.
