Jind Khap Panchayat Women Support Ban on Live-in Relationships and Love Marriages
The Jind khap panchayat in Haryana has reaffirmed its opposition to live-in relationships and love marriages, with the women's wing, led by Santosh Dahiya, supporting these decisions during a meeting in Ramrai village. The move has sparked criticism on social media, where some young women argue that these restrictions aim to favor less-educated, unemployed local men and limit women's freedom to choose partners. The khap plans to form committees to engage with young women in villages to promote their stance.
