For the uninitiated, Lok Sabha recently approved the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill, 2024, whichaims to prevent use of “unfair means” in public examinations in order to bring “greater transparency, fairness and credibility” and giving it a comical touch was a page on Instagram that said cheating was illegal in relationships too. Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut went rather long in her opinions and later realised her faux pass, leading the actress to delete her post.
Ranaut wrote- “I further request this government that no man should be able to abandon a woman after dating her for long if he does so he must pay for her maintenance and give her alimony and casual hook ups and polygamy should be banned as well. Also sexual intercouse should be banned for school going children, much like the age of marriage (18/21) there should be age for sexual relationships as well, what is the point of banning children marriages or having strict age for marriage if children going to hook up online in sexual activities and make it a norm to have sexual partners in school, especially in big cities having boyfriends and girlfriends in school is a part of urban culture it must be banned, it interferes with their mental and physical growth, if there is unbearable need for companionship then based on old traditions permission to marry early must be guaranteed.”
She added, “This was the most needed bill for the safety of young vulnerable women, who fall for the fake promises of marriage and even for the sanctity of the institution of marriage, in the age of dating and hook up apps behaving immoral, frivolous, inconsistent and simply perverted has become cool, some remand in jail and fine in crores should fix the urge of tinder and ginger.”
