The GNM School Marriage Ban has triggered debate in Bihar after a nursing school warned students not to marry during their course. The GNM School Marriage Ban says the institute will cancel enrollment if a student marries while studying.
The order came from a GNM nursing school in Hathua in Gopalganj district. The principal issued the notice on April 16. The school also placed the notice on campus walls.
The notice clearly states that students must stay unmarried during the three-year GNM training. If any student marries during this period, the school will cancel her admission.
School officials said nursing education needs full attention and discipline. They believe marriage during training may affect studies.
The rule soon spread on social media and started a debate. Many people said the rule interferes with personal freedom.
After the issue gained attention, the district administration ordered an inquiry. Officials must submit a report within 24 hours.
