Description

Khap panchayats in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday said they will oppose same gotra marriages before the Supreme Court which had sought their views following a plea to curb violence against couples at the behest of such caste councils. At a meeting of over 200 khap leaders, the self-styled caste councils were "unanimous in their opposition to same gotra marriages".
