India: Female candidates asked to remove 'mangalsutra' before exam in Karnataka

<p>In a bizarre judgement, an Indian High Court has ruled that the removal of 'Mangalsutra' or 'thali' is "mental cruelty of highest order". Mangalsutra is a sacred thread worn around the neck by some Hindu women worn&nbsp;as a reflection of their marital status. The judgement in question came during the case of a man seeking a divorce. When granting the divorce to the aggrieved petitioner, a division bench of Justices V M Velumani and S Sounthar made the observation about Mangalsutra and the importance it holds in a Hindu marriage.&nbsp;In June 2016, C Sivakumar, a professor at a medical college in Erode, filed for divorce, however, a local court denied his request. Sivakumar had sought to have the decision overturned. Granting his request, the Madras High Court observed that removing the jewellery holds significance of its own.</p>

<p>The petitioners now ex-wife was examined during the proceedings and she admitted that while she and Sivakumar were separated she removed her thali and kept it in her bank locker.</p>

<p>Citing Section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act, her attorney argued that thali is not required for marriage&nbsp;and that, even if their client removed it,&nbsp;the wife's removal of the thali would not have any effect on the marital bond.</p>

<p>However, as per a PTI report, the bench said that it is common knowledge that the tying of the thali is an important ceremony in marriage rituals, which take place "in this part of the world".</p>

<p>It cited orders of a division bench of the High Court, which stated that "It was a known fact that no Hindu married woman would remove the thali at any point of time during the lifetime of her husband."</p>

<p>"Thali around the neck of a woman was a sacred thing which symbolises the continuance of married life and it is removed only after the death of the husband.

<p>Since the judgement came to light, it has taken the Internet by storm and people have been quick to point out that being married and wearing a piece of jewellery have no real intrinsic connection. Some even compared it to tying a rope around a cow's neck.</p>

<p>Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Mauro Di Roberto, Managing Director - Jewelry Business Unit at Bulgari, said, “Since we re-entered into India in 2014, we have been even more intrigued by the cultural traditions of India and inherent role of jewelry. It took us several years to design our interpretation of the Mangalsutra for the modern Indian woman, for whom this piece is often one of the most important pieces of jewelry she wears. While working hard to maintain its traditional appeal, we have worked closely with our team in India and Priyanka Chopra Jonas to ensure that it is resonates with the lifestyles of the modern bride today- that she can wear from morning to night, every day and everywhere, pairing it with ease with Indian as well as western wear.”</p>

Global star Priyanka Chopra recently starred in a photoshoot for luxury label Bvlgari and while she looks stunning as always, there's something else that caught our eye -- her mangalsutra.

Global star Priyanka Chopra recently starred in a photoshoot for luxury label Bvlgari and while she looks stunning as always, there's something else that caught our eye -- her mangalsutra. The Indian jewellery mangalsutra is worn by married women as it is sacred to the Hindu matrimonial ceremony. The mangalsutra that Priyanka flaunts is none other than by luxury label Bvlgari. The Roman jewellery brand known for its timeless designs launched its first ever mangalsutra that is set in 18ct yellow gold adorned with round black onyx inserts and pave diamonds.Keeping up with the traditional essence of the jewellery, Bvlgari has given its contemporary take on the neck band that they feel would suit the aspirations of a modern Indian bride.
