Panaji, June 1 : The Goa government s resolve to make counselling of couples mandatory before marriage has triggered comic spin-offs on social media, with netizens wondering whether such counselling should also be made mandatory for legislators in the coastal state, who have a reputation for party hopping.
On Monday, Goa Law Minister Nilesh Cabral had said that his ministry was tinkering with a policy to make pre-marriage counselling mandatory to stem the rising tide of quick divorces in the state, even as he was unable to provide statistics related to registration of divorces in the state. According to Cabral a government agency was formulating a counselling module and that religious institutes could also be roped in to provide pre-marriage counselling sessions.
