Moga Love Marriage Fallout: Family Brutally Evicted, Police Inaction Sparks Outrage
A family in Moga district, Punjab, has alleged a brutal assault and eviction following their son’s inter-caste marriage, a decision that directly contravened a village panchayat’s diktat against such unions. The incident, reported on July 29, 2025, has sparked widespread outrage.
The family claims that they were violently attacked and forcibly removed from their home. The mother sustained injuries during the assault, but her claims have reportedly been dismissed by local police.
Despite the severity of the allegations and visible injuries, the police have seemingly not registered a formal complaint. The matter is currently under review, according to official sources.
This incident highlights the persistent challenges faced by couples choosing inter-caste marriages in rural Punjab, despite legal protections. The apparent inaction of the police raises serious questions about the enforcement of laws safeguarding citizens against such violent acts and the protection of women’s rights. The case underscores the urgent need for stronger measures to combat such blatant violations of human rights and ensure accountability.
