Better solution is to revert to islam and get marry in the mosque or wedding hall
Very good move.. Many parkatteys took muslim girls and married in temple.. Now this is the good step from Administration.. There will be a halt for everythng.
No freedom in Mangalore
very sad. If we can get permission from our family what s the need of getting married in a temple?
very good move by the DC. this system should be implemented all over karnataka,
First send notice to infamous Arya Samaja. It helps and provide money to Hindu men who marry Muslim girl.
