A day after Muslim clerics declared the marriage of a 22-year-old youth with his divorced step-mother as illegal and anti-Islamic, villagers on Tuesday banned the entry of the couple in Gangeru village in the district.
The villagers also decided a social boycott of the couple, which has fled the village after an attack on them. The marriage has led to tension in the village following a clash in which six people, including four women, were injured. Security has been beefed up in the village to avoid any untoward incident, police said.
Earlier, the clerics had declared the marriage as null and void, and said such relationships would be treated as rape and the culprits will be punished as per Islamic law.
