Ujjain Family Disowns Daughter

In a shocking incident, a family in Ujjain's Khacharod has disowned their 18-year-old daughter for marrying a man from a different community. The family, upset over the inter-community marriage, performed a symbolic last rites ceremony for their daughter. This ritual, known as 'Gorni', is a traditional practice where the family burns the photograph of the person they wish to disown. The incident highlights the deep-seated prejudices and social norms that still prevail in some parts of the country.
