Less than an hour from Delhi, a panchayat in union minister Ajit Singh's constituency, has decided love marriages, unescorted walks in the evenings, and mobile phones are off-limits for women.
When women leave their homes, their heads must be covered. Women younger than 40 must not leave their homes at all after sunset.
"People who want love marriages can move out of our village,"said Mohman Khan, a member of the panchayat in the Asaara village in Baghpat.
"We completely accept the decision ," said a villager named Musharraf. "If single girls walk in the village a lot problems are created."
