In Gujarat Assembly, MLAs Demand Parents Sign Be Made Mandatory for Love Marriage Registrations

News 18  

MLAs from BJP and Congress have demanded the Gujarat Legislative Assembly that the signature of parents is made mandatory for the registration of ‘love marriages’ and that the document be recorded in the same taluka where the couple would live, according to reports on Friday. BJP MLA from Kalol, Fatehsinh Chauhan, said registration of marriages in cases when a girl ties the knot with the man of her choice without the consent of her parents adds to the crime rate of the state. Congress MLA from Vav, Geni Thakore, said the demand for making adequate changes in the law regarding love marriages in the Hindu Marriage Act has been raised for a while and said while leaders are not against love marriages as a whole, but to ensure that the girls do not face harassment in the future. The demand for the state government to add provisions for the mandatory signature of parents on marriage registration in the existing Hindu Marriage Act for cases of love marriages was raised by the Members of the Patidar community in Gujarat last year.
