Free Mass marriage ceremonies exemplify humanity, says Gehlot

Baran: CM Ashok Gehlot while addressing the all-religion free mass marriage ceremony of Shri Mahavir Gaushala Kalyan Sansthan, said that organising mass marriages gives strength to newlyweds and also strengthens the feeling of social harmony. “This is the basic identity of our country. Mass marriage of 2222 couples of all religions is a historic event in Baran.” He said that along with teachings of our great men, truth, non-violence and unity in diversity are also basic sentiments of the Constitution.

The CM said that marriage of 2,222 couples of all religions were solemnised according to law in the mass marriage ceremony. These included 2,111 Hindu and 111 Muslim couples. With the help of Bhamashahs, the newlyweds were also provided with basic amenities for living.

Gehlot said that the State government is encouraging mass marriages through its schemes like the CM Group Marriage Grant Scheme, CM Kanyadan Scheme and CM Intercaste Marriage Promotion Scheme being run in the State.
