"NO toilet, no bride." That's the latest message from a senior Indian minister, who yesterday urged women not to get married into families that do not have toilets at homes.
"Don't get married in a house where there is no toilet," Indian Rural Development and Water and Sanitation Minister Jairam Ramesh said in the northern state of Rajasthan.
Addressing a crowd at Khajuri village in the state, he said: "You consult the astrologers about rahu-ketu (planetary positions) to know about suitability of stars before getting married."
"You should also look whether there is a toilet at your groom's home before you decide to get married," he added.
Ramesh has earlier courted controversy by saying that India has more temples than toilets.
That sparked protests by Hindu right-wing activists across the country.
