Year 2054 – Part I

From BBC

“Order Order” Judge shouts angrily.

The whole court is in chaos. Some want to rip the stupid people in witness box apart while some just want  need life.

The prosecutor starts “Milord, we are in one of the strangest case here. Strange is something which is, often an uncommon scenario & which is very rarely acceptable. This, here, is also the same. Ramaya, Surbhi & Shyam, here in this witness box are asking something which is totally non-sensical & bizarre. Milord, these are the cases which waste court’s previous time & hence our judiciary ends up being blamed for the long list of pending cases. Hence, I would appeal court to dismiss this case & send these three stupid people back home.”

Defense lawyer stands up & clears his throat for his last plea; while Surbhi starts unannounced “Dear fellowmen & Milord, Strangest of the things are often considered as uncommon & hence, ignored or avoided. That is why, most of the miseries of this world occur right down our noses & we do nothing. We are here, to not plead for the acceptance of our request but to be open about our existence. There was a time when we were thriving hard for same sex relationships & marriages in India. This was way back in 2014-15. Around 40 years back, we were “neglecting” the strange relationships; what happen afterwards we all know. This was not only accepted worldwide after a while, but also, treasured by india. What we do in our private moments or in our personal domain, should not involve a say by any third party. What wrong were Gays doing in 2014? In fact, poor teen age girls were committing suicide because they were confused about their orientation & felt embarrassed to admit it. Same way, today, we are neglecting or noticing too hard the bond which three of us have here. Yes we are not straight or not gay either. We three love each other and want to spend our lives together. Yes we three are heterosexual. Call us what you may. But, we three want to get married. If that cannot be done, then we just want to stay together and live our life. We should not be judged for this or criminalized for God sake.”

Prosecutor Rao, “But Milord, what sort of madness is this! How can three people be in love?”

“Just the way two people can be” Shyam responded.

“Sir, but this is totally against nature” Rao while staring at the hammer.

“And where is this book where ‘nature’ has written all about it?” Shyam talks to the whole room.

Ramaya starts “Sir, we three have no problem with one another. Our sexual life is of nobody’s matter unless we create some havoc in society. We just want equal married couple rights for all three of us.”

Rao, jokingly “Tri-couple. Isn’t?” “Milord, this is just western influence; something which we are copying again from abroad.  A marriage which consists of three people, girl in it, bears children from both one by one. This is all due to the girl ratio being miserable in India per boy. In last 40 years, stats have reduced to only 4 girls for 10 boys. Among which many are gay. Hence, these young people are coming up with these easy child bearing methods. Girls enjoy money & protection from both guys. Lordship, where is this society heading? Today we approve a marriage between 3 persons, tomorrow what? A Gang-Bang?”

Whole court laughs. Reporters run out of the court to give this juicy bit for cameras.

Judge “Order, Order! Both sides have completed their side of the story. Court will announce its decision after lunch break”
