What this is

The scheme “Marriage Assistance to Daughters of Prisoners” was launched by the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala.

In detail

The scheme “Marriage Assistance to Daughters of Prisoners” was launched by the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala. The Government of Kerala has implemented this scheme which provides financial assistance for the marriage of the daughters of those who have been undergoing imprisonment for more than 2 years. The maximum amount of financial assistance will be ₹30,000/- per person, during the first phase of the scheme as many as 20 such families will be assisted.

When a person commits a crime and gets sentenced to imprisonment, his family is vulnerable to financial instability, poverty, debt, and potential housing disruption. They often get stigmatized and marginalized in society following the incarceration of a family member. Due to the poor financial conditions, the family members find it difficult to ensure proper education for their children and marry off their daughters. Therefore, the Government of Kerala has implemented this scheme for the upliftment of such a target population.

Who qualifies

  • The applicant should be a native and resident of Kerala State.
  • The applicants must belong to Below Poverty Line (BPL) category.

Note 03: Once the marriage grant has been sanctioned, if the existing marriage is dissolved and remarried for any reason, the grant will not be eligible.

What you get

  • Under the scheme, the maximum amount of financial assistance will be ₹30,000/- per person.
