Description
Byline: Semu Bhatt - Email: semubhatt@gmail.com The Khap Panchayats are in news for their demand to amend the Hindu Marriage Act. This is in reaction to the landmark judgment in the Manoj-Babli honor killing case, which sentenced five people to death and a Khap leader to life imprisonment. Subsequent to the judgment, there is growing public pressure on the government to ban the Khap Panchayats. On their part, these Panchayats have been defiant. They had a meeting of representatives of 20 Khaps on April 13 where they demanded a ban on sa-gotra (sa: same, gotra: ancestral lineage) marriages. They also decided to collect money to appeal on behalf of the convicts in Manoj-Babli case. On August 1, they are having a massive Khap congregation to decide further course of action.
