Gopal Chinayya Shetty, MP wants to end, the ‘big fat Indian weddings’ . He thinks the expenditure on weddings must come down.
Shetty wants the government to control people’s wedding expenses as well by way of a law.
He has already introduced a private member bill seeking, “prevention and prohibition on the extravagant expenses incurred on marriages” across the country in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
The bill seeks “to provide for the prevention and prohibition of sheer extravagance and unlimited expenditure being incurred on marriages and related ceremonies in various parts of the country and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.”
Shetty said, “The intention behind introducing such a bill is to initiate a conversation on the subject. It might not necessarily become a law, but at least people will think about the issue when it is discussed in Lok Sabha.
There are some people who spend a huge amount of money and then there are others who hardly have any money to even get married. There should be some equality on that front also.”
