A Baghpat khap panchayat bans smartphones for teens, half-pants, and lavish weddings, citing cultural preservation.
A khap panchayat in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, has banned smartphones for teens aged 18 to 20 and prohibited boys and girls from wearing half-pants, citing Western influence and declining traditional values.
The group also urged weddings to be held at homes or villages, limited guest lists, discouraged expensive halls, and promoted WhatsApp invitations.
Officials said the rules, based on community consensus, aim to strengthen family ties and cultural norms, with plans to expand them across Uttar Pradesh and collaborate with other regional khap groups.
