Jaipur: The Rajasthan High Court has condemned the state government’s policy which debars women from remarrying for a specific period in order to get job. The government should encourage remarriage, the HC said.
“The condition of not remarrying till a specific period to get government job is not only unconstitutional but insult to the womanood,” Justice Mohammed Rafiq said while disposing off a petition against education department’s decision to prevent a teacher from joining her new post.
The petitioner Mukesh Kumari informed the HC that she got married in 1998. Two years later they divorced. In 2006, she applied for teacher’s post under quota for divorced women. However, in 2013, she wasn’t allowed to join as she remarried in 2011.
