About — Rule 377
Rule 377 was a provision of the Indian Penal Code that criminalised carnal intercourse against the order of nature, effectively outlawing consensual same‑sex relations. Its removal in 2018 marked a watershed for LGBTQ+ rights in India. The Supreme Court’s Navtej Singh Johar judgment declared the clause unconstitutional on 6 September 2018.
