Bengaluru, Jan 19: The state government has announced that police protection will be provided to couples entering into inter-caste marriages in the state.

Home minister Dr G Parameshwara, referring to the recent honour killing of a six-month pregnant woman in Dharwad district, said the incident was a matter of shame for civil society. He pointed out that even before marriage, young men or women involved in inter-caste relationships often face threats from their own family members. If such individuals approach the local police seeking protection, the police must not ignore these complaints. He instructed that immediate security should be provided to those facing threats.

He further stated that DCRE (Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement) police stations have been established to prevent atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. However, he expressed concern that the police are not working efficiently to protect the oppressed. He directed DCRE police officials to pay special attention to cases related to inter-caste marriages and ensure proper protection to those concerned.

    He has right.World is changing and some changes in ones thinking and acting too.One can choose their life partner as one wants and live happily than to marry a unknown person without knowing his /her character.Police should also understand this and act.

    World has changed but there is still much to change in India. There’s a lot of difference in inter caste or interfaith marriages happening in the west and in India. In many cases in India interfaith marriages are the result of brainwashing, threats and blackmailing (before marriage) and after marriage there are instances of forcible conversion of the bride, confinement within four walls of the house and prohibition to visit parents and relatives. More than providing security, the law enforcement authorities need to be fair and impartial in dealing with such cases.
