Gujarat Girl Decides To Marry Herself, BJP Leader Says: โ€œWonโ€™t Allow, Against Hinduismโ€

New Delhi: Kshama Bindu, 24, is getting ready for her wedding on June 11 like every bride, except her invitation just has her name on it. Bindu, a Pune-based recruiter, claimed she is devoting her life to self-love and is considering self-marriage or sologamy in the spirit of the Canadian web series โ€œAnne with an E.โ€

โ€œSelf-marriage is a commitment to being there for yourself, to choosing the livelihood and lifestyle that will help you grow and blossom into the most alive, beautiful, and deeply happy person you can be,โ€ said Bindu.

Bindu, who is from Vadodara in Gujarat, said she was particularly taken with one of the web seriesโ€™ dialogues: โ€œEvery woman wants to be a bride but not a wife.โ€ She went on to say that marrying herself was a way for her to acknowledge her adulthood.

Bindu said her sologamy would not involve a legal process. โ€œโ€ฆyou would not get any tax breaks for marrying yourself. It is more a rebuke of tradition,โ€ she said quoting Rebecca Traister, the author of โ€œAll the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation.โ€

Reacting to this Solo gamy news, BJP city unitโ€™s deputy chief Sunita Shukla has reacted strongly to Vadodaraโ€™s 24-year-old Kshama Binduโ€™s decision to marry herself on June 11. โ€œIf she is getting married at a temple, we canโ€™t let her do that,โ€ Sunita Shukla said, adding, โ€œSuch marriages are against Hinduism.โ€

Sunita Shukla said that โ€œBindu is mentally illโ€. She said that nowhere in Hindu culture is it written that a boy can marry a boy or a girl can marry a girl. โ€œIโ€™m against the choice of venue, sheโ€™ll not be allowed to marry herself in any temple. Such marriages are against Hinduism. This will reduce the population of Hindus. If anything goes against religion, then no law will prevail.โ€ Sunita Shukla said.
