Girls and boys talking in college is a taboo in Chennai

Shocked to read that in St.Joseph's College, Chennai, a so called "mixed" or Co-ed college, if a girl ever talks to a boy, both sets of parents are summoned to college! Boys and girls have to walk on different sides of the road and drive way.
I understand that there are many more engineering/ general colleges in Tamilnadu, where the 'educationists' have the same mindset.
I have a simple query, if a student's father reaches college to find a lady principal/ dean at the helm of affairs (or vice-versa), will the grandmother or grandfather of the student be summoned?
Would love to be further educated on the subject .... please help.
