यहां किराए पर बीवी मिलती है एक साल के लिए

  आज  दुनिया में शायद ही कोई क्षेत्र होगा जहां औरतों ने अपने हुनर से पहचान न बनाई हो। फिर भी भारत के कई जगहों में महिलाओं से जुड़ी कुप्रथाएं आज भी चली आ रहीं है। कुछ प्रथाएं तो ऐसी हैं, जिनके बारे में सुनकर हर कोई हैरत में पड़ जाए कि क्या सच में ऐसा होता है! आज हम आपको मध्यप्रदेश और गुजरात के कुछ गावों में मानी जाने वाली एक ऐसी प्रथा के बारे में बताने जा रहे हैं, जिसे सुनकर आप भी दंग रह जाएंगे। यहां किराए पर दी जाती है बीवी दरअसल, भारत के मध्यप्रदेश में एक ऐसी जगह है, जहां महिलाओं को किराए पर अपनी बीवी बनाने का रिवाज है।   जी हां, मध्यप्रदेश के शिवपुरी गांव में 'धड़ीचा प्रथा' काफी प्रचलित है।   इस प्रथा के मुताबिक अमीर आदमी इस गांव की लड़कियों को बतौर बीवी किराए पर ले सकते हैं लेकिन यह बंधन जिंदगीभर का नहीं होता।  यह सौदा महीने या साल के हिसाब से होता है। चाल-ढाल से लेकर खूबसूरती भी देखते हैं लोग यहां आने वाले लोग महिलाओं और लड़कियों की चाल-ढाल और खूबसूरती को भी देखकर सौदा करते हैं। इसके बाद एक साल के लिए उसकी शादी करा कर विदाई दी जाती है। अब प्रशासन के खौफ के कारण यह दबे-छुपे

Supreme Court Clerks Are Deciding Maintainability of Petition Not Judge

  CORRUPTION IN SUPREME COURT REGISTRY , NOT GIVING DIARY NUMBER AND REJECTING PETITION WITHOUT QUOTING APPROPRIATE SECTION OF SCR 2013. AS PER SC ORDER ONLY JUDGE CAN DECIDE MAINTAINABILITY OF PETITION Supreme Court of India P. Surendran vs State By Inspector Of Police on 29 March, 2019 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/85097973/ 10. Therefore, we hold that the High Court Registry could not have exercised such judicial power to answer the maintainability of the petition, when the same was in the realm of the Court. As the power of judicial function cannot be delegated to the Registry, we cannot sustain the order, rejecting the numbering/registration of the Petition, by the Madras High Court Registry. Accordingly, the Madras High Court Registry is directed to number the petition and place it before an appropriate bench.
