Business Standard
The Godikan panchayat in Haryana has become the first panchayat in the country to pass a resolution to marry off girls only to families that have a toilet in their house. Inspired by Bollywood movie Toilet- Ek Prem Katha, the move, say panchayat members, is aimed to ensure safety and well-being of the women folk. Posters and banners that say “Beti wahin byahenge, jis ghar me shauchalaya payenge" (will marry off our daughters to households where we find a toilet), are expected to be put up soon. The Godikan panchayat has already been declared an Outdoor Defecation Free panchayat.
