Omschrijving
This book deals with the widespread phenomenon of contentious marriages and elopements in Haryana. It focuses on the role of caste panchayats which curbs individual rights in the name of maintaining honour, brotherhood, community, and village unity. It also unravels how state agencies abet the arbitrary workings of these panchayat.
