24-Year-Old Kshama Bindu from Vadodara Set to Marry Herself in Rare ‘Sologamy’, Calls it ‘Act of Self-Acceptance’
In a rare development, 24-year-old Kshama Bindu from Vadodara is set to marry herself in a rare sologamy or self-marriage. The 24-year-old has called the act an act of ‘self-acceptance. In her interview to TOI, Kshama explained that she never wanted to get married, but wanted to be a bride. To do both, she has decided to get married to herself and her D-Day is on June 11.
In her interview, Kshama explained the strange and rare marriage. “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,” she explained. Kshama Bindu is a resident of Vadodara, Gujarat, and works in a private company.
With her sologamy, Bindu wants to portray that women matter. Like most Indian brides, Kshama will be dressed in a traditional wedding attire, will be seeking blessings from her parents at a temple, and will also tie herself to five-vows she has written for herself. All that will be missing is a groom, and a groom-party (baraati).
To indulge in a complete wedding experience, Bindu is also scheduled for a two-week honeymoon with herself. She will be visiting Goa for her honeymoon.
The Facts of the Matter
In 2013 Kangana Ranaut starrer Queen, Rani, a small-town girl obsessed with her boyfriend, goes on a transformative journey of self-acceptance and self-love after her lover ditches her and she is forced to go on her own honeymoon on her own.

What is Sologamy?
Come 9 years later and a woman in Gujarat is not only planning to go on a honeymoon with herself, but marry herself as well. The rare act of marrying oneself is called ‘sologamy’.
According to an Insider report, Sologamy isn’t a legally binding act. One doesn’t get to register themselves and they can also marry someone else in future without necessarily divorcing themselves.
