“The Nasaka, the primary section for issuing marriage permission for Rohingya community, held issuing the permission without giving any reason.”

“412 applications have been pending in the Nasaka marriage permission department since August 2011.”

We had inquired at the Nasaka Headquarter in Kyiganpin about the marriage permission, but the concerned officer responded that need more document to get the permission, said a member of village administration office from Maungdaw.

“The couples who wish to marry in near future and what will happen to the couples who are waiting for permission which the authority is holding marriage permission.”

“May be the couple will be married secretly and their children will become blacklist or will leave their home town for fear of arrest. The authorities remove their name from their family list.”

Similarly, it was happen in 2005, the concerned authority was held the marriage permission  where more than 14,000 applications were pending in Nasaka   Headquarter and most of the Rohingya couple had left their home town and married at the refugee camp of Bangladesh.

“At the end of October, 2009, I fled to Bangladesh from Burma as I could not get married. I was engaged with Abul Kasim, a boy from my village in early 2009. But Burma’s border security force, Nasaka, arrested my father alleging that I had married Abul Kasim without permission. My father was taken to the camp by Nasaka personnel and severely beaten up. Later, they released him after taking a bribe of Kyat 200, 000,” said Nur Begun from Kutupalong unregistered camp.
