Karnataka Drafts Bill to Curb Honour Crimes

The Karnataka government is making a new law to stop crimes that happen because of family or community pressure against marriages.

This law will protect people who want to marry someone their family doesn't approve of.

It says that no one can hurt or kill someone because they married someone from a different caste or community.

The law also says that if someone promises to marry someone but then refuses because of the person's caste, it will be considered a serious crime.

The government will also set up special courts to deal with these cases quickly and provide safe places for couples who are in danger.
