Brides in India presented with Paddles to Discipline their Husbands - News Article

It appears that 700 new husbands in India will spend their wedding night with very sore backsides after their brides were presented at the wedding ceremony with brand new paddles to discipline their husbands should they become drunk or abusive.


 This Brides Mother appears to be giving her some last minute advice on how to paddle her new husband
 These wives look like they mean business , especially the little one in the middle who looks like she can't wait to use her paddle . Her new husband looks absolutely terrified.
                This new bride has that ' just wait until I get you home look' on her face.

In the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, 700 brides at a mass wedding were presented with wooden paddles and told to use them as should their husbands become drunk or abusive.The paddles are normally used for getting dirt out of clothes in traditional laundries, but those given out to the brides were stamped with pink and blue messages saying "a gift to keep drunks in check" and "police won't say anything".At the ceremony in central India over the weekend, Gopal Bhargava, the minister of social justice and rural development, presented women with the paddles and urged them to put them to use if necessary.He said: “If your husband or any other member of family comes home drunk, treat him with it.” Mr Bhargava has ordered nearly 10,000 bats for distribution to newlywed women.Mr Bhargava said he got the idea for the wedding presents when a woman asked him whether she should get her husband to stop drinking by beating him with a wooden paddle.
