Now we can bring Kashmiri girls for marriage, says Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday said Kashmiri women can be taken to other states for marriage now that Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was revoked, ANI reported.

“Our minister OP Dhankhar used to say that he will bring bahu [daughter-in-law] from Bihar,” Khattar said at an event in Fatehabad. “Nowadays people are saying that path to Kashmir has been cleared. Now we will bring girls from Kashmir.” He was speaking about the success of the beti bachao beti padhao campaign, according to The Hindu.

There have been a flood of misogynistic comments, with many people expressing views on marrying Kashmiri women, since India on Monday revised Article 370 of Constitution that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and ordered all laws to be applicable in the region the way they are in the rest of the country.
