Chandigarh (PTI): Haryana BJP MLA Ram Kumar Gautam has called for a law that mandates parental permission before marriage.

This is necessary, keeping in view the present situation, the Safidon MLA during Zero Hour in the Haryana Assembly on Tuesday.

"Boys and girls run away... There have been cases where parents are forced to commit suicide later. My request to the government is to make such a law where permission of parents is mandatory for boys and girls before marriage," Gautam said.

He was a member of the JJP before switching over to BJP ahead of the 2024 Haryana assembly polls.

Gautam also raised the issue of land collector rates, saying there was a big gap between these rates and the market rates at some places.

"Wherever there is a big gap, it should be rectified. This will also help stop corruption," he said.

As his allotted time to speak during the Zero Hour got over, Speaker Harvinder Kalyan asked him to take his seat. However, Gautam insisted on carrying on and was stopped by the Speaker.

"If you want to say anything beyond this, then you give a notice and whatever needs to be done, I will act accordingly," Kalyan said.
