Jaipur: A Rajasthan
community panchayat has ordered a social boycott of a 20-year old
woman and her family after she refused to marry a mentally
unstable man, with whom she was engaged 15 years ago, police said
Thursday.
The incident occurred in Khinwara area of Pali district, 400 km
from here. The panchayat members made the family pay Rs.63,000 as
fine and asked other villagers not to mingle with them and invite
them to social functions.
The girl lodged a first information report (FIR) against some
panchayat members with Khinwara police station Wednesday.
"The girl whose name is not being disclosed on her request had
been engaged with a boy from a nearby village when she was about
five years old," a police officer told IANS.
The girl and her family members came to know recently that the
would-be bridegroom was mentally unstable.
"The girl and her parents refused to get her married with the man
and broke the engagement. The family members were trying to get
her married to someone else recently," said the officer.
When the local community panchayat in her village came to know
about the girl's decision, they called a meeting and ordered that
the girl and her family members, including her parents and two
siblings be boycotted.
"Following the panchayat order, the family has paid Rs 63,000.
They approached the police when they were privented from fetching
water from the public hand pump and getting grocery items from the
village shops," said the officer.
"We have registered a case against some panchayat members
including Himmatram, Hajariram, Ograram, Mangaram, Bhanaram
Chelaram and Mishri Lal," said the officer.
