Man requests for wedding certificate, asks to marry once more
Thiruvananthapuram, July 11: A joke proved costly for four employees at a Kerala marriage registrar office after they refused to hand a man his wedding certificate and instead asked him to marry once more.
State Registration Minister G.Sudhakaran suspended all four government employees from his department for "misbehaviour and dereliction of duty".
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Sudhakaran said when he came to know about this man''s predicament he could not take the "nonsense" and ordered the suspension.
Madhusoodhan had walked into the Sub-Registrar's office at Mukkam in Kozhikode seeking an attested marriage certificate 16 years after he got married. He was first made fun of and then made to wait for several days. The document was supposed to be made available on the same day as the request.
"Madhusoodhan had married under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act on February 27, 2003. He needed his certificate on June 19 and had requested for an attested copy of his marriage certificate.
"Instead of doing that, the officials there made fun of him," the Minister said in his social media post.
They asked him to marry once again, so they could quickly issue a marriage certificate, as they did not want to look up the old records, said Sudhakaran.
The minister further noted that when this certificate could have been given then and there, he was asked to wait for three days and also had to suffer the humiliation.
"When this person expressed his displeasure on social media, it came to my notice, I asked a top official in the Registration Department to probe the issue and submit a report.
Following which, "I decided to suspend four employees in the Mukkom office Devi Prasad, Sivaraman Nair, T.K.Mohandas and P.B.Rejish and have also ordered for further probe to find out if these people are fit to be in government service," noted Sudhakaran.

Neha's murder not case of 'Love jihad', Siddaramaiah reaffirms
Mysuru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated on Saturday that the murder of MCA student Neha Hiremath is not a case of "love jihad".
“I strongly condemn the act. The killer was arrested immediately. This is not a case of love jihad. The government will make sure that stringent punishment is given to the killer,” the Chief Minister told media persons in Mysuru.
He said that it is unfortunate to use one’s death for political reasons.
“The case is being politicised unnecessarily. The protests will not affect the government,” the Chief Minister said.
Neha, the daughter of a Congress corporator in Hubballi, was stabbed to death inside the college campus in Hubballi city by Fayaz Kondikoppa on Friday.

However, other students caught Fayaz and handed him over to the police.
Meanwhile, the parents of Neha claimed that their daughter’s murder is a case of “love jihad”.
‘Love jihad’ refers to a bogus claim made by the Hindu right wing that Muslim men are ‘luring’ Hindu women into marriages to convert them to Islam.
Niranjan Hiremath, the father of Neha, has warned that his entire family will die by suicide if the investigation is misled and botched up.
