Here's What It Would Look Like If Couples Celebrating Valentine's Day Were Forcibly Wedded
SPOILER ALERT: This is a real possibility. Like, this could happen. Screw love, stay the fuck at home. Thanks, East India Comedy, for this hilarious video.
The hilarious team at East India Comedy uploaded a video titled "Sanskari Valentine's Day," and it is based on ~recent developments~ with regard to Valentine's Day in India.
The Indian nationalist party Hindu Mahasabha recently announced that they will be "punishing" seen couples celebrating Valentine's Day by marrying them off to each other, and, if need be, converting them to Hinduism.
This wasn't all. They later announced that the moral policing will also be applicable to those expressing affection for each other on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

In the video, there were some very successful forced marriage stories...

At Least Three Dead In Blast Near Shiite Mosque In Pakistan
Three people were killed and several injured in an explosion near a Rawalpindi mosque, local media reported. Jundullah, a splinter group of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the attack.
The victims were identified as Ghulam Hussain, Abdul Shakoor, and Syed Sakhawat Hussain, a spokesperson for the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) hospital told local television stations.
A suicide bomber detonated his vest outside the Qasar-e-Sakina Imambargah during evening prayers, according to local media reports. He was unable to detonate it completely, Dawn reported. The mosque is located on the highway linking Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Hospitals in both cities declared an emergency following the explosion. The injured were rushed to PIMS and Poly Clinic Hospital.
"When I heard the first shot, I locked the door and told worshippers to hide in the hall," eyewitness Mohammad Yousaf told Geo News. "People rushed inside to the mosque and saved themselves."
Jundullah, a splinter group of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the attack, Reuters reported. A spokesman for the group said it was revenge for the Pakistani army's operation against militants along the Afghan border. Jundullah had pledged its support to ISIS in November last year.
This is the fourth sectarian attack on the Shiite community this year. The three other attacks also took place at Shiite mosques, or imambargahs.
This is a developing story, please check back for updates.
