Jhansi. In Uttar Pradesh, the Chief Minister’s Mass Marriage Scheme, which is being run to help poor girls, is becoming a mockery in front of the arbitrariness of some people. The poor quality of gifts given to girls is often discussed, but this time such a feat has been done which has raised questions on the very intention of the scheme.
On 27th February, Chief Minister’s mass marriage conference was organized at the Government Polytechnic campus in Jhansi. For this, along with the 168 registered couples, their family members were also called. A strange situation arose during the program when a groom mentioned in the registration list did not turn up.
In a hurry, the marriage formalities were completed by appointing a person from the girl’s side in his place. As soon as the marriage took place, the girl wiped off the vermilion from the mang. This made some people suspicious and when they inquired, they found out that the person to whom the girl was being married was her brother-in-law.
Ceremony performed by calling brother-in-law as groom
The marriage of the girl was fixed in Chhatarpur and it was decided to get married in the Chief Minister’s mass marriage conference. Online registration was also done for this. Time was passing, but not a single member of the groom’s party was present. Immediately the girl’s side performed the marriage formalities by naming the girl’s brother-in-law as the groom. He admitted that he was asked to stand as a couple with Kanye for some time. At the same time, the girl admitted that she had to take this step due to the absence of the groom’s side.
It is being said that the girl’s side took this step because of the money and gifts received in the marriage. The role of the Social Welfare Department in this case is also being considered doubtful, because it did not verify the groom before giving the gift. District Social Welfare Officer Lalita Yadav says that if any wrong has been done then investigation will be done and action will be taken against the culprits.
