No room for unmarried couples: OYO’s love lockdown sparks mixed reactions

Hindustan Times  

The hotel booking platform OYO introduced a new policy on Sunday that prohibits unmarried couples from checking into its partner hotels in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. “While the law doesn’t stop unmarried couples, this policy aligns with ‘Indian sanskriti and sabhyata’,” he said, adding that it’s about protecting cultural norms. “This could set a good example for society.” Echoing similar sentiment, Mrinalini Sinha, 40, a makeup artist, says, “Restricting bookings for unmarried couples seems morally correct and could prevent nuisance activities in hotels. It also sends a subtle message to society while addressing concerns like incidents of violence and high dating expenses among youth.” Lalit Kumar, 43, a Delhi-based teacher believes it’s in line with protecting family values.
