Kshama Bindu
Ahmedabad- born Kshama Bindu, who will marry herself on June 11, stunned her parents when she shared her sologamy plan with them. “They asked me if I had lost my mind, but later understood my feelings,” said the 24-year-old woman, who lives in Vadodara. It’s all about self-love, said Kshama, who has made elaborate arrangements for her wedding.
Kshama told mid-day, “I had decided to live with myself when I was a child. I was watching a web series where there was a dialogue that said ‘every woman wants to become a bride but not a wife. So I decided to become a bride of myself. I also found through Google that this is called sologamy.”

Kshama has completed her bachelor’s from MS University, Vadodara. Here mehendi will be held on June 9. “My haldi function has been organised during the day on June 11 followed by the wedding at night. I will put a garland to myself, will take seven vows and apply sindoor. I will complete all marriage rituals. A pandit will come for my marriage. My wedding invitation card is also ready. Now, the bride’s clothes are getting ready.”
Kshama Bindu said her parents were taken aback when she first told them
The 24-year-old said her parents were taken aback after learning about her decision. “My parents told me that this is not a way to go about marriage. They asked me if I had lost my mind. I made them understand what I had in mind and they agreed. They said they will be happy with anything that makes me happy,” said Kshama. Her elder sister is a doctor.
Kshama said her decision is nothing but self-love. “In marriage, people have to understand each other and they also have to accept each other’s deficiencies.” Does she have a dream prince? “I don’t have any such desire. I don’t want to influence anyone but those who do not want to marry can go for self-marriage. There’s nothing wrong with this.” She said her friends from Ahmedabad and Vadodara will be present at the wedding, while her family members will attend through a video call.
