Gujarat’s Kshama Bindu had a marriage like no other as she married herself on June 8 and shared the pictures of the event on her Instagram handle. Bindu’s marriage ceremony, held at a temple in Gotri, was performed by a pundit with complete ritual such as ‘pheras’ and wedding vows. This ceremony lacked a groom and a ‘baraat’.

What is sologamy?
Sologamy is defined as an alternative term for self-marriage. Supporters of this form of marriage propagate it as affirming of one’s own value and state that it leads to a happier life. The concept is also popular in pop culture with characters Sex and The City’s Carrie Bradshaw, Glee’s Sue Sylvester, Zoolander 2’s All and Doctors’ Valerie Pitman and Rona Jefferson.
