Moradabad: In a case that shocks and disturbs in equal measure, a village panchayat in Moradabadon Sunday

allegedly ordered and executed a punishment of 20 lashes each to two 

women accused by their mother-in-law of not preparing a meal for her.

 

The incident took place in Salawa village in Moradabad’s Kanth tehsil after the mother-in-law allegedly complained to village elders that her daughters-in-law had not given her food or washed her clothes in the absence of her sons.

 

 

The village is not new to acts of justice in favour of mothers-in-law, said Dulari, a local panchayat member who goes by one name only. ”Whenever women fight with in-laws, we call a panchayat and imposed a fine depending on the nature of offence carried out. We rarely approach the police since solving disputes by calling a panchayat is a custom here.”
