The Haryana Labour Welfare Board (HLWB), under the Labour Department, Government of Haryana, implements the “Financial Assistance in Marriage of Women Workers or Daughters of Workers” scheme. This initiative provides financial support of ₹51,000 to eligible workers for the marriage of their daughters as well as to working women for their self-marriage (Kanyadaan). From 23.02.2015, the benefit has been extended to cover up to three daughters per worker, and from 15.01.2019, the Kanyadaan amount is disbursed three days before the marriage solemnization. The scheme aims to alleviate the social and financial burdens associated with marriage, thereby reducing gender discrimination and ensuring that the girl child is not considered a liability.
