Indian village elders declare social boycott for couples in 'love marriages'
A video circulating on social media shows a man in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, announcing that couples entering into love marriages against family consent will face social ostracization. This includes their families being denied milk, excluded from village gatherings and decision-making processes, and social interactions ceasing. The decision appears to have collective backing from villagers present during the announcement. This move has raised concerns about the violation of constitutional rights, including equality, freedom, and the right to life and personal liberty. While villagers claim the decision aims to curb elopements and protect the village atmosphere, law enforcement has stated an investigation will be conducted, and action will be taken against anyone acting outside the law.
