Village in India bans love marriages, girls using cell-phones and women under 40 years going shopping!!!

In what could be termed as a strange diktat by a village panchayat in the Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, girls were ordered not to use mobile phones on the streets and women less than 40-year-old were banned from shopping.

The panchayat of Asara village, in Ramala police circle, also banned love marriages. However, in a surprising decision, the panchayat also said that taking or giving dowry will be a punishable offence.

Besides, the use of head phones by boys has also been banned on roads and in bylanes.

 "Love marriages are a shame for the society. It is very painful for the parents, specially the girl's family, as such marriages dent their respectability. Anyone doing love marriage, he or she will not be allowed to live in the village," Sattar Ahmed, a member of the village panchayat said. Full story...
