Are you trying to say that sometimes a society's norms are above the law of the land?
I think laws of a country like ours was made after a careful consideration of society itself. Those people were probably more learned than me or you or anybody else on this forum for that matter.
Jaspreet,
Our country has lots of diversity. The law has been formulated by some person like you and me, the law maker are not God, so we can't take the word of law maker as Holy Bhagwat Gita words in each and every case. In the history of Independent India our law has been already amended 100's of times.
The lawmaker can't impose a law on whole society, if that law doesn't match with the tradition of the that particular society.
As avoiding Gotra system is a respected tradition among Jat community, then Jat have the full right to practice this tradition as a society, nobody have the right to teach a lesson to Jat community on this issue. If Law is not formulated as per this tradition, then law should have to amended in such a way that Gotra system will get legal sanctity.
We should have to spread awareness in our coming generation about our gotra system tradition and present in that manner that they should have to feel proud on this tradition, as this tradition is no way a regressive tradition.
However, I don't support any kind of killing of any couple even if they breach this Gotra line. But If any couple breach this line they should not have to live at the same place where people won't respect this relationship..they should have leave that place and settled at any far area where people don't bother about gotra and family should allow them settle somewhere else instead of killing them. Nobody have the right to kill anyone. Such couple also do not try to become superman like we'll fight with whole society...no matter what will happen!
