On 'Vat Purnima', which is being celebrated on Tuesday, women worship banyan trees and pray for a happy married life and to get the same husband for seven lives.
The ashram founder, Bharat Fulare said, "One day before that, we worshipped a peepal tree here, praying not to get the same life partner again."
He said that there are many laws to empower women, but they are also being misused. He stressed on the fact that men also need laws so that they can raise their voice against the injustice that they face.&nbsp;
