Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (MS)

Bengaluru, Jul 18: Though the lockdown is in force off and on since the month of March, there is no dearth of marriages taking place in the state of Karnataka during this period also.

According to a report the registration of marriages in the state has not reduced even during the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Those who wanted to get married and get their children married have done so even with few guests.

 

According to the records available with the registrar of marriages in the state, more than 40,000 marriages have taken place throughout the state. Out of this, Ballari district has taken the top spot with nearly 12,000 marriages. During normal time, the records of marriages will not be available accurately as many do not register their marriages at all. However, due to the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic, it is made mandatory to register the marriages before the actual function. So the government has accurate records this time.

A senior officer working with the district marriage registration department in Ballari says that compared to last year, the number of marriages have increased this year due to the compulsory registration which is made mandatory before the marriages. Last year 1,141 marriages were registered in the district. This year within three months 12,300 marriages are registered.

In rural areas, marriages of VIP persons has taken place with people gathering in huge numbers. Online marriages have also taken place during the lockdown.

    Suicide is 2 types, one is fast and another is slow.
    Fast suicide: Put the rope around the neck and keep hanging
    Slow suicide: Galle pe warmala dalo, aur zindagi bar latakte raho.

    You asked, it is applicable for both no ? I have full respect for women. I will never forget, what Sushmita Sen, the first Indian Miss Universe answered to a question on woman.

    "Woman is a greatest gift of God, the origin of a child is woman, by sharing and caring, she is able to show to the man, what love is all about". Though the suicide comment, I wrote so, I do not mean it.

    If men behave after marriage, the way they do before it
    Half of the divorces won't take place

    On the other hand, if women behave before marriage the way
    They do after it, half of the marriages won't take place

    (Old saying)
