THE Madras High Court has ordered the authorities concerned of the state government to distribute the marriage assistance of cash and gold under the Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Ninaivu Marriage Welfare Fund to a woman who was denied the aid citing conversion of the scheme into Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education Assurance Scheme.

Justice MDhandapani passed the orders recently on a petition filed by J Praveena of Pernampet in Tirupathur district.

She (petitioner) had submitted an application for assistance of 50,000 cash and eight grams of gold for her marriage on July 29, 2019, under the marriage welfare fund scheme, ahead of her wedding. As her parents employed as daily wage workers in a beedi making unit were poor, she tried to get the assistance.
