KARNATAKA ACT NO. 26 OF 2026
(First Published in the Karnataka Gazette Extra-ordinary on the 10th day of April, 2026)
KARNATAKA FREEDOM OF CHOICE IN MARRIAGE AND PREVENTION AND
PROHIBITION OF CRIMES IN THE NAME OF HONOUR AND TRADITION
(EVA NAMMAVA EVA NAMMAVA) ACT, 2026
(Received the assent of the Governor on the 09th day of April, 2026)
Whereas the Constitution of India guarantees to all persons the fundamental
rights to equality before the law and equal protection of the laws (Article 14), the
right to life and personal liberty (Article 21), and the freedoms of expression,
association, and movement (Article 19);
And whereas the primordial human rights of life, liberty, equality and dignity
enshrined in the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 shall be available to persons
exercising their decisional freedom;
And whereas these rights include the autonomy of all persons to choose their
partners, to enter into marriage and to lead lives with dignity;
And whereas the Constitution recognizes the liberty and autonomy which
inheres in each individual and includes the ability to take decisions on aspects
which define one's personhood and identity. This includes the choice of a partner
in marriage;
And whereas an alarming increase in violence, harassment, threats, and
social ostracism—often perpetrated in the name of caste hierarchy, honour,
custom, - is being directed against individuals, especially young couples, who
exercise their right to marry;
And whereas such violence disproportionately affects women, who are
subjected to patriarchal control over their choices, and men from marginalized
communities, who are targeted when their relationships cross caste boundaries;
18
And whereas endogamy operates as a structural mechanism designed to
preserve the caste system, and inter-caste marriages serve as essential
instruments for dismantling its rigid and oppressive framework and for advancing
the constitutional principle of fraternity;
And whereas the Constitution of India enshrines the principle of fraternity
as essential to securing the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of
the nation, and this principle demands the eradication of caste-based
discrimination and the promotion of social solidarity through the recognition and
protection of inter-caste marriages;
And whereas such acts constitute a grave violation of constitutional rights
and human dignity, and must be recognized not as private or familial matters, but
as serious offences warranting legal intervention and protection;
And whereas it is necessary to prevent individuals and groups from enforcing
caste based discrimination in individual choices;
And whereas it is necessary to create an environment of inclusivity,
promoting fraternity, mirroring the all embracing time honoured principle of "Eva
Nammava, Eva Nammava.";
And whereas it is necessary that proactive steps be taken to prevent the
commission of such acts and to establish comprehensive protective measures,
including preventive, remedial, and rehabilitative mechanisms, to safeguard
individuals and to ensure that State authorities are under a legal obligation to
respond effectively and uphold the constitutional rights to dignity, liberty, and
equality;
Now therefore, it is expedient to enact a law to affirm and protect the liberty,
dignity, and autonomy of all persons, to prevent crimes committed in the name of
“honour” and tradition, to penalize any conduct that interferes with individual
freedom of choice in marriage and to provide legal safeguards, remedies, and
institutional mechanisms for prevention, redressal, and rehabilitation.
