India.. A brother marries his sister to falsely receive a marriage grant of less than $ 1,000

People across India are trying all kinds of tricks to take advantage of government schemes.

However, in a strange incident, a man married his sister in a group marriage ceremony to get money from a government project to support the newlyweds, under which weddings are organized by the Department of Social Welfare.

Under the mass wedding scheme, the state government awards 35,000 rupees ($459) to each couple regardless of household gifts given to them.

According to the scheme details, 20,000 rupees ($262) is deposited into the bride's bank account and gifts of 10,000 rupees ($131) are also given.

The marriage took place in Tendala in Firozabad district on December 11 in a group wedding of 51 couples, only to be exposed when local villagers identified the couple as brother and sister, after videos and pictures of the group wedding began to circulate, where the villagers got to know one of the married couples, on He is brother and sister.

The Indian authorities announced that they would take action against the alleged couple.

A security information report was also registered against the brother, whose identity is currently being verified, while household items provided to the "couple" under the collective wedding project were confiscated.

In a similar incident last year, a Punjabi man married his sister to take her to Australia.

It is worth noting that Manpreet Singh, who comes from a village in Batinda, has been to Australia and has settled there since 2012.

His sister Amandeep Kaur also wanted to go to Australia, but her visa was denied several times.

So the brother and sister duo of Singh hatch a cunning plan for a fake marriage so that the sister can emigrate.
