Headmistress marries student inside classroom in this Bengal college | see pictures

A wedding ceremony took place inside a classroom at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), Haringhata campus, involving a first-year student and the head of the Applied Psychology department. The ceremony included traditional Hindu marriage rituals such as the exchange of garlands and the application of sindoor. The two participants in the ceremony, the student and the teacher, claimed to be married during the event.

The incident occurred on the university campus in the Applied Psychology department, where the teacher, dressed as a bride, and the first-year student performed the rituals. Several students and faculty members were present during the event. Witnesses reported that the two involved in the ceremony expressed that they were married, and the event was witnessed by other students in the class. The teacher, a departmental head, was seen in full bridal attire, while the student participated in the ceremony, applying sindoor to the teacher’s forehead.

Following the incident, the university administration swiftly intervened. The teacher, who is the departmental head, was sent on leave pending an investigation, and the student was suspended. The university confirmed that an investigation committee has been formed to look into the incident. The investigation aims to assess whether any academic, ethical, or institutional policies were violated during the event. University officials have emphasized that this action was taken to ensure clarity and address any potential misconduct.

According to reports, the teacher involved in the ceremony explained the event as a part of a project linked to the curriculum. However, the specific nature of the project and its connection to the wedding ceremony have not been made clear by the university. Acting Vice-Chancellor Tapas Chakraborty mentioned that the teacher had described the event as part of a curriculum-related project, though the university is scrutinizing the circumstances further. The university has not provided any specific details on the type of project or its relevance to the marriage ceremony.

The wedding ceremony took place in a classroom during regular academic hours, raising questions about the appropriateness of the event within a formal educational setting. The university, while stating that an investigation is underway, has refrained from disclosing any additional information about the individuals involved or the project's details.

As of now, the university has not released the whereabouts of either the teacher or the student. Attempts to contact both individuals have been unsuccessful. University authorities have indicated that once the investigation is complete, they will provide further details and address any breaches of institutional policies. The ongoing inquiry will determine the appropriate actions based on the findings regarding the ceremony’s alignment with university guidelines.
