Patidar Group Demands Stricter Marriage Registration Rules

A group of Patidar community members met with Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi and Minister of State for Law Kaushik Vekariya to discuss changes in the marriage registration process.

They want marriages to be registered at the girl's Aadhaar address by higher-ranking officers to prevent marriages without parental consent.

The group also raised concerns about illegal registration of marriages for money in some districts.

Additionally, they demanded the implementation of 10% EWS reservation in local body elections.

The ministers assured them that changes in the law for marriage registration will be made soon, and the government is considering the EWS reservation after looking into legal aspects.

The group has been campaigning against marriages registered after elopement, especially involving girls from well-established families.
