Dalits reject Khap member's 'marriageable age' suggestion

last updated on October 08, 2012 at 12:02 pm Ibnlive

There is outrage over a Haryana Khap member's statement that girls must be married off at 16 years of age to avoid being raped. The Dalit community has rejected the Khap's suggestion of lowering the marriageable age, calling it a sick mindset. 'Reducing the marriageable age won't make a difference. It's not the age, but the mindset of the culprit that's responsible,' Dhanik Samaj leader Jongi Ram Khundia said.
