Two couples, Avinash and Anjali, and Amit and Shiva, had a unique marriage in Prayagraj.

Instead of the ceremonial fire, the mantras and other traditional rituals, the marriages were solemnised with a 'pledge' which the couples took in the presence of their parents, several social workers and eminent persons of the city. The marriage took place in a residential complex of Chatham lines locality of the city on Sunday. The two couples chose each other beyond caste lines and without any religious rituals.
