'What Will Happen to Childbirth?' Nitish Kumar Makes Homophobic Remark at Event

"What will happen to childbirth if a man gets married to another man," the Bihar CM asked.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday, 24 May, made homophobic remarks while condemning the dowry system during an event in Patna. Stating that there was nothing worse than asking for a dowry to marry a woman, Kumar asked what would happen to childbirth if a "man gets married to another man."

Kumar made these comments while inaugurating a newly-constructed hostel for girls in the state's capital, Patna.

"There is nothing worse than demanding dowry for marrying a girl. If you get married, then only children will be born. What will happen to childbirth if a man gets married to another man," Kumar asked.
