barbaric murder

July 3, 2007 7:32am CST
I heard on cnn ibn that a married couple in haryana was murdered by the village panchayat because they were of same gotra(which means they should have treated each other as brother and sister.)while it is a scientific fact that genetic anomalies and disorders occur more frequently among those where people marry within the community,the panchayats kill people to honor centuries old stale beliefs,which is unpardonable.

My sister married in the same gotra and has two lovely children, who are also married and got children. If same gotra, then doing kanyadan must be done by other couple, who belong to other gotra. In my sister's case my uncle and aunt did that as they belonged to other gotra. How can people kill young buds like this for superstition? Barbaric.
