Mangaluru, Jul 21: Love birds in Mangaluru city and other parts of Dakshina Kannada now cannot get marry in any temple in their district if their parents are not ready to accept their wedding!
The district administration took this step following complaints of girls being forced to get marry all of a sudden in temple if their parents show red signal for love affair.
Additional Deputy Commissioner Kumar revealed that recently an incident was reported at a temple where the parents of the bride claimed that the she was forced into marriage by the groom and his family.
He said that in order to prevent such incidents, the administration has made it mandatory for all temples under the endowment department to collect a requisition letter from the parents of the both bride and groom.
Besides, the parties are also expected to submit age proof certificates. This will help curbing child marriages, he added.

Better solution is to revert to islam and get marry in the mosque or wedding hall
Very good move.. Many parkatteys took muslim girls and married in temple.. Now this is the good step from Administration.. There will be a halt for everythng.
No freedom in Mangalore
very sad. If we can get permission from our family what s the need of getting married in a temple?
very good move by the DC. this system should be implemented all over karnataka,
First send notice to infamous Arya Samaja. It helps and provide money to Hindu men who marry Muslim girl.
