Imagine a long queue of aspiring bridegrooms in front of a doctor’s chamber to get erectile potency certificates. This could be real soon.
Imagine a long queue of aspiring bridegrooms in front of a doctor’s chamber to get erectile potency certificates. This could become a reality if a high-pitched campaign by veteran Tamil actress Manorama is successful. She wants the government to enact legislation making it mandatory for youth to declare their sexual potency, and furnish HIV negative certificates before marriage. She has already met the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister on the matter. “In most cases, impotence gets noticed only after the couple gets married. Recently, a young girl sought Rs 1 crore compensation from her impotent husband. His parents knew of his condition before the marriage,” says Manorama. “Even a close family member underwent a similar fate. Impotence is a major factor in today’s life.” She is planning to campaign across Tamil Nadu and select cities elsewhere to press for legislation.
