This isn’t the first time that an anti-CAA protest has taken place at a wedding. Earlier too, brides and grooms in Kannur, Kozhikode and Thalassery in Kerala carried out anti-CAA protests during their marriage ceremonies.

People have used the medium of their wedding cards, pre-wedding ‘Save the Date’ photoshoots and even their mehendi to protest against CAA and NRC.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) was passed by the Indian Parliment on December 18, 2019.

CAB gives Indian citizenship to the non-Muslims of Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

According to the act, non-Muslim refugees, who came to India before December 31, 2014, to escape religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be granted Indian citizenship.
