Those aspiring to be teachers or headmasters in private secondary and higher secondary schools receiving grants from the state government must beware.
They would be disqualified if they happen to have more than one spouse. The new fiat is applicable to both male as well as female teachers.
If a male teacher having a wife, marries another woman or enters into a contract of marriage with another woman, he will be disqualified to be appointed as a teacher or headmaster.
Similarly, if a woman marries a man or enters into a contractual wedding with a man already having a wife will not be eligible for the post of a teacher or headmaster in any grant-in-aid private schools.
The new fiat has been issued by the State Education Department recently and circulated to all the grant-in-aid schools across the state.
No explanation is given in the article as to why this is done. Probably because it is sheer bigotry. India, like so many other countries, needs to move towards full marriage equality.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
