Kerala Women’s Commission chairperson Sathidevi has said that the panel will recommend to the government to impose tax on marriages with pomp and show.
Speaking after inaugurating a State-level seminar on ‘Dowry a Social Danger’ and ‘New Media and Women’ at Sulthan Bathery on December 21, Ms. Sathidevi said public perception on extravagant weddings and dowry should undergo a core change in the current social environment.
Restrictions should be imposed on such ostentatious weddings, Ms. Sathidevi said adding that it would be achieved only through enacting laws.
