No Toilet, No Bride

No Toilet, No Bride is a public health campaign launched by Haryana state authorities in India in 2005. It encouraged women to make a household latrine a condition of marriage, seeking to reduce open defecation, related disease, and harassment faced by women using open areas for sanitation and menstrual hygiene. Authorities promoted the campaign through billboards, posters, radio advertisements, and painted village walls. Studies reported increased sanitation investment and private bathrooms in some Haryana households.
