Leaders love to conduct mass marriage, it generates plenty of publicity. However, the Government of Madhya Pradesh has announced that girls who opt for this ritual must first prove their virginity before they can claim the benefits! Usually such couples are chose for the ceremony who are poor or come from socially weak groups and are given a set of clothes and some cash (Rs 5000.00 in this case) to begin the new life. It is reported that one of the girls suffered labor pains just before the traditional exchange of garlands. The program was being conducted by the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and he flew into a rage – spot examination of the girls revealed that 14 out of the 152 fell in this category! It is a racket in which middlemen bring recently married couples and earn commission from them out of the cash given by the Government.
