Kohima, November 20 (MExN): The Nagaland Senior Citizens Association (NSCA) in its executive body meeting held on November 15 reviewed the “overall situations and the new dimension that are taking place and gradually bound to erode our social structure.”
The Association appreciated and encouraged the “Mass Wedding” adopted by some churches in Nagaland in the recent time. “This is an exemplary step in the right direction at the right time,” stated a press release from Dr. S. Imokong Tushi Ao, president and S. Ghunakha Swu, general secretary of NSCA, Kohima.
The NSCA opined that taking into consideration the wedding’s impact on the individuals and socio economic resources coupled with time factor in the fast changing scenario, poor road condition, traffic jams, the existing system of single wedding in the urban places is not favourable and feasible regardless of social status. “Considering its viability and sustainability irrespective of rich and poor, mass wedding is considered to be best as it involves mass participation in whatever it can,” it stated.
“Having considered its importance and concern, wisdom dictates that the church apex leaders like NBCC, respective Executive Secretaries of the tribal church associations and pastors should emphasise the needs and stress the mass wedding implementation as far as possible for honouring the marriage and efficacy of the wedding,” it added.
