&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
How much you can splurge on the buffet, trousseau and finery at a family wedding may depend on how much you earn. A high-powered government panel has recommended income-linked cap on marriage expenditure, including gifts and food served.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The recommendation by the Planning Commission&#039;s Working Group on Women&#039;s Agency and Empowerment is part of the effort to tighten the provisions of Dowry Prohibition Act, 28 years after its enactment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;A limit should also be put on marriage expenditure in terms of food,&amp;quot; said the group headed by the secretary, ministry of women and child development. This group is the nodal agency for the legislation being designed to replace the existing anti-dowry law. The panel, however, has held that the ceilings should be graded by income. &amp;quot;Introduction of ceilings, in terms of percentages of income on both gifts and marriage expenditure, needs to be considered.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel wants wants to improve implementation of the anti-dowry law by appointing sufficient number of dedicated, full time dowry prohibition officers to enforce the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has also recommended a relook at the existing definition of what constitutes &amp;quot;dowry&amp;quot;, and penalties for violation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act need to be considered to bring clarity in the law&#039;s interpretation as well as to prevent non-application of the various provisions of the Act,&amp;quot; the group said, arguing that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The advocacy for ceiling on marriage expenses is somewhat reminiscent of the Guest Control Order of the 1970s which sought to lay down the number of guests in important family events. The measure was dropped because it was found to be impractical. While the previous attempt to curb expenditure fitted well with the social ethos of the time when austerity was supposed to be a virtue, the new effort comes at a time when ostentation doesn&#039;t attract similar criticizm; indeed, at times it is celebrated.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

How much you can splurge on the buffet, trousseau and finery at a family wedding may depend on how much you earn. A high-powered government panel has recommended income-linked cap on marriage expenditure, including gifts and food served.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The recommendation by the Planning Commission&#039;s Working Group on Women&#039;s Agency and Empowerment is part of the effort to tighten the provisions of Dowry Prohibition Act, 28 years after its enactment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;A limit should also be put on marriage expenditure in terms of food,&amp;quot; said the group headed by the secretary, ministry of women and child development. This group is the nodal agency for the legislation being designed to replace the existing anti-dowry law. The panel, however, has held that the ceilings should be graded by income. &amp;quot;Introduction of ceilings, in terms of percentages of income on both gifts and marriage expenditure, needs to be considered.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel wants wants to improve implementation of the anti-dowry law by appointing sufficient number of dedicated, full time dowry prohibition officers to enforce the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has also recommended a relook at the existing definition of what constitutes &amp;quot;dowry&amp;quot;, and penalties for violation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act need to be considered to bring clarity in the law&#039;s interpretation as well as to prevent non-application of the various provisions of the Act,&amp;quot; the group said, arguing that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The advocacy for ceiling on marriage expenses is somewhat reminiscent of the Guest Control Order of the 1970s which sought to lay down the number of guests in important family events. The measure was dropped because it was found to be impractical. While the previous attempt to curb expenditure fitted well with the social ethos of the time when austerity was supposed to be a virtue, the new effort comes at a time when ostentation doesn&#039;t attract similar criticizm; indeed, at times it is celebrated.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
How much you can splurge on the buffet, trousseau and finery at a family wedding may depend on how much you earn. A high-powered government panel has recommended income-linked cap on marriage expenditure, including gifts and food served.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The recommendation by the Planning Commission&#039;s Working Group on Women&#039;s Agency and Empowerment is part of the effort to tighten the provisions of Dowry Prohibition Act, 28 years after its enactment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;A limit should also be put on marriage expenditure in terms of food,&amp;quot; said the group headed by the secretary, ministry of women and child development. This group is the nodal agency for the legislation being designed to replace the existing anti-dowry law. The panel, however, has held that the ceilings should be graded by income. &amp;quot;Introduction of ceilings, in terms of percentages of income on both gifts and marriage expenditure, needs to be considered.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel wants wants to improve implementation of the anti-dowry law by appointing sufficient number of dedicated, full time dowry prohibition officers to enforce the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has also recommended a relook at the existing definition of what constitutes &amp;quot;dowry&amp;quot;, and penalties for violation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act need to be considered to bring clarity in the law&#039;s interpretation as well as to prevent non-application of the various provisions of the Act,&amp;quot; the group said, arguing that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The advocacy for ceiling on marriage expenses is somewhat reminiscent of the Guest Control Order of the 1970s which sought to lay down the number of guests in important family events. The measure was dropped because it was found to be impractical. While the previous attempt to curb expenditure fitted well with the social ethos of the time when austerity was supposed to be a virtue, the new effort comes at a time when ostentation doesn&#039;t attract similar criticizm; indeed, at times it is celebrated.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The government group argued that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The recommendation by the Planning Commission&#039;s Working Group on Women&#039;s Agency and Empowerment is part of the effort to tighten the provisions of Dowry Prohibition Act, 28 years after its enactment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;A limit should also be put on marriage expenditure in terms of food,&amp;quot; said the group headed by the secretary, ministry of women and child development. This group is the nodal agency for the legislation being designed to replace the existing anti-dowry law. The panel, however, has held that the ceilings should be graded by income. &amp;quot;Introduction of ceilings, in terms of percentages of income on both gifts and marriage expenditure, needs to be considered.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The panel wants wants to improve implementation of the anti-dowry law by appointing sufficient number of dedicated, full time dowry prohibition officers to enforce the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has also recommended a relook at the existing definition of what constitutes &amp;quot;dowry&amp;quot;, and penalties for violation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act need to be considered to bring clarity in the law&#039;s interpretation as well as to prevent non-application of the various provisions of the Act,&amp;quot; the group said, arguing that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The advocacy for ceiling on marriage expenses is somewhat reminiscent of the Guest Control Order of the 1970s which sought to lay down the number of guests in important family events. The measure was dropped because it was found to be impractical. While the previous attempt to curb expenditure fitted well with the social ethos of the time when austerity was supposed to be a virtue, the new effort comes at a time when ostentation doesn&#039;t attract similar criticizm; indeed, at times it is celebrated.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

Panel for income-linked cap on marriage spend by Mahendra K Singh

-The Times of India How much you can splurge on the buffet, trousseau and finery at a family wedding may depend on how much you earn. A high-powered government panel has recommended income-linked cap on marriage expenditure, including gifts and food served.  The recommendation by the Planning Commission's Working Group on Women's Agency and Empowerment is part of the effort to tighten the provisions of Dowry Prohibition Act, 28 years after its enactment.  "A limit should also be put on marriage expenditure in terms of food," said the group headed by the secretary, ministry of women and child development. This group is the nodal agency for the legislation being designed to replace the existing anti-dowry law. The panel, however, has held that the ceilings should be graded by income. "Introduction of ceilings, in terms of percentages of income on both gifts and marriage expenditure, needs to be considered."  The panel wants wants to improve implementation of the anti-dowry law by appointing sufficient number of dedicated, full time dowry prohibition officers to enforce the Dowry Prohibition Act. It has also recommended a relook at the existing definition of what constitutes "dowry", and penalties for violation.  "The amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act need to be considered to bring clarity in the law's interpretation as well as to prevent non-application of the various provisions of the Act," the group said, arguing that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.  The advocacy for ceiling on marriage expenses is somewhat reminiscent of the Guest Control Order of the 1970s which sought to lay down the number of guests in important family events. The measure was dropped because it was found to be impractical. While the previous attempt to curb expenditure fitted well with the social ethos of the time when austerity was supposed to be a virtue, the new effort comes at a time when ostentation doesn't attract similar criticizm; indeed, at times it is celebrated.  The government group argued that 28 years after the law relating to dowry was extensively amended, the incidence of dowry death continues to grow which necessitate a clear interpretation of dowry legislation.
