NAHARLAGUN: Hundreds of women from Papum Pare Christian Revival Church Council, Women Wing, (PPDCRCCWW) under Arunachal Pradesh Revival Church Council (APRCC) took out a mass public awareness campaign against polygamy with the theme 'Polygamy Kills Family Happiness' on Saturday.
The group said that the campaign aims to spread awareness about the consequences of polygamy which not only affects a woman but to children as well society at large. “We want to address the issues of violence, discriminations, poverty which are the end result of this evil practice and also too aware our young women about it”, said PPCRCC Women Wing Secretary Techi Martha Khoda. She said that we are moving towards the computer age and such practice in society does not do anything good to the predecessor but inflicts lots of trouble and pain to the offsprings and other family members in the name of polygamy.
Several women wing leaders addressed the gathering. A few among them said that "we could share our money, property and time, but not our husband with other women." The mass awareness procession rally walked through the thoroughfare of the township. Music performance by local youths of the Christian community also caught the attention of the public.
