Gujarat woman to marry self: What is solo gamy

New Delhi, Jun 02: A 24 year old woman from Gujarat Kshama Bindu will marry herself in Sologamy. She will have a function in which she will apply 'sindoor' to herself.

Sologamy or autogamy is a marriage by a person to themselves. Supporters of this practice said that it affirms one's own value and leads to a happier life. The alternative term is known as self marriage.

Ceremonies in a self-marriage may take place exactly the same form as of a traditional marriage. The ceremony will include guests, a reception and other rituals depending on the person. This practice has become extremely popular in 21st century among affluent women.
