Hisar Village Panchayat Bans Love Marriages, Threatens Social Boycott
A social panchayat in Arya Nagar village, Hisar, Haryana, passed a resolution banning love marriages within the village, threatening social boycott for couples and their supporters who defy this. The decision followed three recent love marriages, including inter-caste and same-caste unions. The elected village panchayat has distanced itself from the resolution, which holds no legal validity. Police have assured protection for affected couples, while legal experts affirm adults' constitutional right to choose their partners.
