Haryana Sarpanches Demand Marriage Law Amendments
Haryana's village leaders, called sarpanches, are planning a big meeting to change some marriage laws.
They want to stop people from marrying in the same village and also have concerns about live-in relationships and homosexuality.
The sarpanches believe that in the 36 communities, every girl is considered a daughter or sister of the entire village and should not marry within the same village.
They want to change the Hindu Marriage Act so that if people run away to get married, their parents must agree first.
They also aim to create awareness about these issues.
Haryana sarpanches plan a statewide campaign against live-in relationships, homosexuality, and same-village marriages.
A Sarvkhap Mahapanchayat will be organized on June 22 in Uchana Kalan to demand amendments to the Hindu Marriage Act.
The campaign aims to curb social evils, including marriages within the same village and same gotra.
The Sarpanch Organization will conduct awareness campaigns and propose legal amendments.
They will propose amendments to not legally recognize eloped marriages without parental consent.
