Karnataka Proposes Bill to Prevent Honour Killings

The government of Karnataka, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, is introducing a new law to stop honour killings and protect people who marry someone from a different caste.

This comes after some recent sad events where people were killed for marrying someone their family didn't approve of.

The new law will make it a serious crime to hurt or threaten people because they married someone from a different caste.

It will also set up special places for these couples to stay safely.

The law is inspired by the teachings of Basavanna, a famous saint who believed in equality and unity among all people.

The government wants to make sure that everyone has the right to choose who they marry without fear.
