Birth certificates mandatory to tie the knot in Chandannath Temple

The temple made the decision following complaints that a large number of child marriages take place in the shrine.

A 25-year-old man from Chandannath Municipality-7 and his 22-year-old girlfriend reached the Chandannath Temple, a revered Hindu shrine, last week to tie the knot. But they could not get married as the temple’s priest refused to perform their wedding rituals.
