Has obtaining cop cover become 8th ritual for a valid marriage: HC

Madhya Pradesh High Court has cautioned lawyers against advising newlyweds to seek police protection without genuine threats, calling it a potential "eighth ritual" after marriage. The court's observation came during a hearing where a woman alleged an advocate charged Rs 40,000 for her marriage and promised police protection. The bench emphasized advocates shouldn't exploit young couples and directed an investigation into the institution arranging marriages.
