Bill on Khap Panchayat Reforms

Bill on Khap Panchayat Reforms aims to regulate and modernize traditional community councils in India, known as Khap Panchayats. These informal bodies have historically overseen social issues like marriage and community disputes but have sometimes been involved in controversial or illegal decisions. The reform bill seeks to establish clear legal frameworks, define permissible actions, and prevent any judgment that violates individual rights or laws. Its goal is to preserve cultural practices while ensuring accountability, fairness, and protection of human rights, thereby balancing respect for tradition with the rule of law.
