Will Khap Panchayats Fall In Line After Supreme Court Guidelines?
In a historic decision, the Supreme Court has said Khap Panchayats or self-appointed village courts cannot stop a marriage between two consenting adults. The court has laid down strict guidelines to be followed. On Trending @ 10, we ask: will Khaps, which have always functioned as parallel courts, now fall in line? And if they don't, will the punitive measures ordered by the court be implemented by states, especially the police?
