Woman marries herself in India’s first sologamy wedding

A 24-year-old woman has become the first person in India to marry herself.

Kshama Bindu, from Vadodara, created a nationwide buzz last week when she announced that she would be holding the sologamy wedding on 11 June.

Despite setting the date for Saturday, Bindu decided to bring forward the ceremony, marrying herself on Wednesday instead.

Bindu told reporters she had booked a priest to solemnise the marriage with traditional Vedic rituals, but he backed out after her story went viral.

She has since shared footage from the ceremony - at her own home - online.
