India has granted citizens through legal means and government programs the freedom to choose their marriage partners yet honour-based attacks against marriages continue to happen across different national regions. A bride’s family in Churu district Rajasthan sparked dread when they burned down all of the groom’s residence after being angry about his love marriage. The attackers engaged in vandalism at the site before proceeding to set the fire. Neighborhood residents contacted law enforcement before police officers finally reached the location where they helped officials maintain order before escorting both parties to the station. None of the individuals who were part of the incident suffered fatal injuries however numerous people sustained injuries.
14 Arrested in the Case
The police document states that this incident occurred in the Desarjar village of Churu district. The matrimonial union of Anuradha Sitaram Kumar and the nephew of Sanwarmal Acharya has sparked this conflict. The family of the bride fiercely resisted their daughter marrying because of love. The couple initiated their union by getting married at a temple then proceeded with the formal legal wedding procedure at the court. Before leaving the wedding the newlyweds went to the bride’s home to request good wishes but the groom’s family rejected and forced them to depart.
