MANY people think that matrimonial bond is equivalent to life imprisonment. But what if a prison inmate gets married while still in jail? Does he lose his freedom further? Will it amount to double trouble for him or will it help him mend his ways? Whatever the effect of a marriage on an inmate may be, the jail department of Punjab has decided to set up honeymoon suites for inmates in Kapurthala and Faridkot jails.
A husband was sad. The wife said, "What’s up?" The husband said, "Do you remember 10 years ago when we were courting, your father caught us." "Yes, I do , I was just 16 years old, not legally adult to be with you at that time," said the wife. "Your father trained his gun at me asking if I would marry you or want to go to jail for 10 years," said the husband, going in trance. The wife said, "Yes, I do remember darling." The husband said
pensively, "You know, I would have been released today."

The
idea is that instead of giving the prisoners leave for marriage, the
couples should be allowed stay in the honeymoon suites of the jails
for a week or so. If the idea clicks, then the Governments of Himachal
Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir could also make honeymoon suites in
their jails. With inter-state agreement to promote jail tourism, soon
honeymoon couples could be sent to jails on hill stations. "Hamara
beta shaadi ke baad bahu ko le kar Srinagar jail mein gaya hai,"
will boast the mother of the newlywed culprit.
