Eating Chowmeins can get you raped says Khap Panchayat

Chowmeins can get you raped, says a senior Khap Panchayat Leader of Haryana, so make sure you dont loiter near  Chowmein  Shops.

“To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts,” said Jitender Chhatar, a resident of Jind’s Chhatar village and thua khap panchayat leader.

“You also know the impact of chowmein, which is a spicy food, on our body. Hence, our elders also advised to consume light and nutritious food,” Chhatar added.

Last week, khap panchayats had evoked outrage after Sube Singh, a khap leader, advocated lowering of age of marriage for girls from 18 years to 16 years on the grounds that young girls are vulnerable to rapes and should be married off earlier.

A Khap Mahapanchayat  has appealed to the Centre and Haryana government to grant Khaps the status of Lok Adalats as their decisions on various issues were “unanimous.”

They also demanded that marriage in the same gotra should be banned and suggested amendments to the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a Khap member said.

The Mahapanchayat in the same meeting had brushed aside the idea of a Khap leader that the marriageable age of girls should be brought down to 16 years, saying the suggestion was “individual in nature.”
