A village in Punjab's Mohali has passed a resolution to ban love marriages without family's or community's consent, reportedly after a 26-year-old man married his niece. "The incident...[impacted] 2,000 villagers," the sarpanch said. The move sparked criticism with Congress MP Dharamvira Gandhi calling it a "Talibani diktat" and the Punjab State Commission for Women chairperson condemning it.
