ROHTAK: A khap panchayat in Kaithal district of Haryana decided to ease some gotra restrictions for marriages on Sunday.

The leaders of Chahal khap announced that it would not object to a marriage in which the grandmothers of the couple have the same gotra. The condition that the couple's gotra and their mothers' gotra should not match will continue to exist.

"The khap would not have any objection if two people whose grandmothers are from the same gotra get married. However, restrictions on marriage in same gotra and the gotra of mother of bride/groom would remain in force," said Surjeet Singh Chahal, pradhan of Chahal khap.

The gotra system in Haryana till now forbade a couple from getting married if they, their mothers or their grandmothers belonged to the same gotra.

The leaders said that they were also trying to change with the times.

"With the changing times, the khap realizes that it's getting difficult to arrange marriages outside the gotra. So, the khap leaders have adopted the resolution. The khap will have no objection if anybody decides to marry to a person from grandmother's gotra", said Dalbir Singh Chahal, a khap representative.

He said that though the decision has come into force, it's likely to be adopted in the khap's state meeting of scheduled on March 31.

The khap also adopted the resolution to strongly implement a ban on the liquor consumption, DJ music and use of firearms to celebrate marriage ceremonies.

This is the second khap panchayat in Haryana to relax gotra norms after a khap in Sonipat did so a year ago.

The Supreme Court too has taken cognizance of the kangaroo court style justice delivery system of the khaps and has issued instructions to the government to rein in the khap panchayats.

The apex court is in the process of hearing the views of the khap panchayats before laying down guidelines for the government to curb the role of khaps.
