Bhopal- MP:
Men in a village in central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh struggle to find prospective life partners due to the water scarcity in their areas.
The families are reluctant to marry off their daughters in Chattarpur district, reported Business Standard.
“A wedding was lately cancelled as there was an acute water problem in the area. Nobody is ready to marry off their daughters here,” a Buxwaha resident was quoted as saying in the report.
The village has a population of one thousand souls but without water supply or any water pipelines.
“People, therefore, have to travel far to get water. The place earlier had two hand pumps that have run dry,” the report said.
The wedding of a son of Jassu Ahriwar was called off due to water scarcity, according to the report.
“The girl’s family had a strong liking for the boy and the family, given the state of water supply, things did not work out between the two sides and wedding was cancelled,” Ahriwar said.
