Vadodara woman set to marry herself: 24-year-old readies for rituals including wearing sindoor

瓦多达拉一名女子即将嫁给自己：24岁的她准备举行仪式，包括点朱砂

VADODARA: Like any other bride-to-be, 24-year-old Kshama Bindu is getting ready for her D-Day on June 11. She is, however, getting into a union with herself — it’s a solo affair from the word go.

瓦多达拉：和其他准新娘一样，24岁的Kshama Bindu正在为6月11日的D-Day做准备。然而，她即将与自己结合，进入“单偶”婚姻。

It may seem incredulous, but from “feras” to performing traditional rituals and even wearing vermilion, the wedding will have it all. Well, almost. There will be no groom and no big, fat baraat. This is probably the first self-marriage, or sologamy, in Gujarat.

这可能看起来令人难以置信，但从“feras”到举行传统仪式，甚至点朱砂，婚礼将进行所有仪式。但不会有新郎。这可能是古吉拉特邦的首例单偶婚姻。

“I never wanted to get married. But I did want to become a bride. So I decided to marry myself,” Kshama told TOI.

Kshama 告诉《印度时报》：“我从没想过结婚。但我确实想成为一个新娘。所以我决定嫁给自己。”

She did some online research to find out if any woman has married herself in the country, but couldn’t find any. “Maybe I am the first to set an example of self-love in our country,” she said.

她在网上做了一些调查，想知道这个国家是否有女性嫁给自己，但没有找到。“也许我是第一个为我们国家树立自爱榜样的人，”她说。

“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.

“自我婚姻是对自己的一种承诺，是对自己无条件的爱。这也是一种自我接纳的行为。人们会和自己爱的人结婚。我爱我自己，所以才会举办这场婚礼，”在一家私人公司工作的Kshama解释道。

She said some might perceive self-marriage as irrelevant. “But what I am actually trying to portray is that women matter,” she said, adding that her parents are open-minded and have given their blessings to her wedding.

她说，有些人可能认为自我婚姻无关紧要。“但我实际上想要表达的是，女性很重要，”她补充说她的父母很开明，对她的婚礼给予了祝福。

Kshama has written five vows for her wedding to be solemnised at a temple in Gotri.

Kshama为她的婚礼写了五个誓言，婚礼在Gotri的一座寺庙举行。

And that’s not all. A two-week honeymoon in Goa is also on her list of post-wedding plans.

这还不是全部。在果阿邦的两周蜜月也在她的婚后计划清单上。

Anything for cheap publicity.

为了出名不惜一切

Pure nonsense in the name liberty and freedom. I do not approve it but accept it as a matter of principal. Everyone is entitled to their ideas and way of life as long as he/she does not impose on others. India has a huge population. Lifestyle like this put some check on the population.

纯粹是以自由的名义胡说八道，我不赞成，但作为一个原则性问题接受它，每个人都有权拥有自己想要的生活，只要他/她不强加给别人。印度人口众多。这样的生活方式能控制人口数量。

Hindu women would rather marry themselves than crazed, hateful Hindutvas. Just look at the comments. Just because this lady is doing something different, doesn't mean she deserves such low life comments. She is harming or offending no one. Her choice, her life.Kudos to this young lady.

印度教女性宁愿嫁给自己，也不愿嫁给疯狂可恶的印度教教义。

看看评论就知道了。仅仅因为这位女士做了一些不同寻常的事情，并不意味着她就应该受到这样低贱的评价。

她没有伤害，也没有冒犯任何人。这是她的选择，是她的生活，这位年轻的女士真了不起。

You can only be a bride if you are married. She wants the pomp and circumstances of a wedding without any of the responsibilities . It's another way to disrespect marriages by these feminists. She can do whatever she wants but why is she allowed to make a mockery of such an important event?

只有结婚了才能成为新娘。她想要盛大隆重的婚礼，但不想承担任何责任。这是女权主义者不尊重婚姻的一种方式

I don't know what all this fuss about. She is not "married" as yet! The "marriage" not till 11 June and she will have every opportunity to change her mind by then.

不知道这有什么好大惊小怪的。她还没有“结婚”呢

要到6月11日，她完全有机会改变主意。
