Despite Wikipedia Recognition of same-sex unions in India starting with India does not recognise same-sex marriage or civil unions, it is unclear whether India prohibits same sex marriage. This image from the same article shows the levels of acceptance as a spectrum rather than a binary yes/no.
There are multiple marriage laws in India, e.g. the Muslim marriage laws allow four wives.
But at least some of these neither explicitly prohibit or permit same sex marriages. There was recently a petition in Indian supreme court to allow same sex marriage and court actually pushed back with the advice that since constitution does not prohibit the case should be filed if such a marriage is actually not permitted by any officials.
