On June 11, India will see a wedding like no other when 24-year-old Kshama Bindu marries herself. Yes, you read that correctly. The woman from Gujarat’s Vadodara will marry herself, and the ceremony will include everything from ‘pheras’ and wedding vows to a Goa honeymoon, but there will be no groom or ‘baraat.’

This will be India’s first solo wedding, often known as sologamy. “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.” According to a TOI report, Kshama said, “I never wanted to get married. I did, however, want to be a bride. As a result, I made the decision to marry myself.”

“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.

Kshama’s decision to marry herself was intended to emphasise the notion that “women matter,” according to the story. She said: “Some might perceive self-marriage as irrelevant. But what I am actually trying to portray is that women matter,” she said.

Speaking about the reaction of her family to her decision, she said her parents had blessed her to go ahead with the wedding. Kshama has prepared five vows for the wedding that will be held at a temple in Gotri.

After the wedding, she has decided to take herself on a two-week honeymoon to Goa.
