Granted, we rely on our cell phones for booty calls, but we've never used them for secret elopements.

Apparently some young couples in northern India have better phone skills than we do, because their district's assembly has banned unmarried women from using them, in an attempt to prevent illicit marriages.

The panchayat of Uttar Pradesh in northern India decided to bar single ladies from using cell phones after at least 23 couples ran off to be secretly married in inter-caste marriages without their parents' approval in the past year. The assembly is convinced cell phones aided in the development of these relationships. Unmarried young men can still use cell phones, but only with their parents' supervision.

Even though caste discrimination is banned in India, it still pervades the countryside, so many parents were upset to see their children run off with others they did not think were worthy. So romantic, in a "Wuthering Heights" kind of way. Minus the ghosts. And the moors. Never mind.
