VHP proposes scrapping caste and horoscopes in weddings to raise Hindu birth rate in Kerala

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has proposed eliminating caste distinctions and horoscope-based marriage practices in Hindu weddings as part of a broader initiative to increase the Hindu birth rate in Kerala.

The proposal is framed within the organization's efforts to address demographic concerns in the state. The VHP argues that removing traditional barriers like caste and astrological considerations could encourage more Hindu marriages and family formation.

The initiative reflects the VHP's focus on demographic issues in Kerala, where the Hindu population percentage is lower compared to other Indian states.
