Wakki News The weird is fun
She will become the proud holder of a rare record as the first woman to marry herself in India.
Kshama Bindu, 24, has concluded plans to wed herself in what would become India’s first solo wedding, also known as sologamy.
Kshama who is from Vadodara in Gujarat has fixed her wedding date for June 11, 2022, when she will wed herself. The wedding will feature everything…from the ‘pheras‘ and wedding vows to a honeymoon but won’t have a groom or ‘baraat‘.
“I never wanted to get married. But I did want to become a bride. So I decided to marry myself,” Kshama told TimesofIndia
Times of India reports that Kshama carried out some online research to find out if any woman has married herself in the country, but couldn’t find any.
“Maybe I am the first to set an example of self-love in our country,” she said.
“Self-marriage is a commitment to be there for yourself and unconditional love for oneself. It’s also an act of self-acceptance. People marry someone they love. I love myself and hence this wedding,” explained Kshama, who works for a private firm.
She said some might perceive self-marriage as irrelevant. “But what I am actually trying to portray is that women matter,” she said, adding that her parents are open-minded and have given their blessings to her wedding.
Kshama has written five vows for her wedding to be solemnised at a temple in Gotri. And that’s not all.
One of the major features of her post-wedding plans is a two-week honeymoon in Goa.
