Addiction to alcohol and gutka is not only bad, but it has also got wide acceptance in the society. That’s why a large number of young people take drugs. In many cases, alcohol is also seen as a status symbol. On the other hand, tales of marriages falling apart due to drunken and drugged husbands are not new. But for some time, it has started coming in the headlines when girls have refused to have relations with drunken-drunk youths.
Another such case came to the fore in the past, when the bridegroom, who was drunk after the method of Varamala, grabbed the hand of the bride and dragged her to dance. The bride’s head bowed and she too refused to marry. The matter reached the police and when nothing worked out, the gifts were exchanged after persuading both the parties. During this, the police also took the side of the girl and said that it is her right to marry or not to marry.
