In an extreme manifestation of self-love, 24-year-old Kshama Bindu from Vadodara is all set to get marry to herself on June 11. Apparently this wedding is being dubbed as India’s first sologamy (solo wedding).
The wedding will be a traditional Hindu marriage, wherein Kshama will tie the knot with herself and will also have ‘pheras‘ and wedding vows.
Kshama has reportedly penned down five vows for the wedding which will be solemnised at a temple in Gotri. After the wedding, she has decided to take herself on a two-week honeymoon to Goa.
Kshama said that this unique idea to marry herself was aimed at highlighting the fact that “women matter”.
Kshama said, “I never wanted to get married. But I did want to become a bride. So I decided to marry myself. I looked up to see if there has been any such marriage in India, but couldn’t find any. Maybe I am the first one to do so. 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.”
Speaking about the reaction of her family to her decision, she said her parents had blessed her to go ahead with the wedding.
