BAREILLY: A Dalit farmer from Budaun district has lodged a complaint against four marriage hall owners in Sahaswan area, alleging discrimination after they refused to rent out their venues for his daughter’s wedding.
In his complaint to SDM, Dalit farmer Achchan Lal mentioned that his 24-year-old daughter’s wedding is scheduled for Feb 4, 2025. Despite multiple attempts, he was unable to book at any of the four marriage halls in the area.
“No hall owner is willing to rent out his venue because we belong to the Dalit community,” he alleged, urging the SDM to intervene and help secure a place for the ceremony.
Achchan’s daughter is a teacher at a school in Sahaswan and is set to marry a banker from Delhi.
