Couple in Sari Lanka under investigation for using 350 children on their wedding event during school hours

A couple in Sari Lanka is under serious investigation for using 250 school children to carry the train of the bride’s saree during a wedding ceremony in Sri  Lanka. 100 students were used as flower girls during the wedding event. 

According to reports, students carried the train of the two-mile long saree worn by the bride, as she and the groom walked down a main road in the centre of  Kandy in luxury style. The saree is the longest ever worn by a bride in Sri Lanka. 



Using students for such ceremonies during school hours was against the country's  law, with violators facing up to 10 years in prison.

The students were from a school named after Central Province Chief Minister Sarath Ekanayaka, who was a special guest at the wedding,

‘We have started an investigation. We are going all out because we don’t want this to become a trend,’ said NCPA Chairman Marini de Livera.

‘What they (the wedding party) did is a violation of child rights,’ de Livera said. ‘Depriving children of education, risking their security and harming their dignity are criminal offences.
