Sneha Patel, a 19-years-old girl from Gujarat has temporarily married her teenaged boyfriend’s elder brother so she can live in the same house as her lover until he is old enough to marry her, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Sneha was in love with Yash Kishan Parmar,19-year-old and wanted to marry him despite her parents’ opposition to the match.
But the legal age for marriage in India - 18 for girls and 21 for boys - put a spoke in their plans. Both lovers eloped briefly but, not wanting to be on the run until Parmar was 21, Patel proposed that she would marry his elder brother and divorce him two years later.
The elder brother even agreed to sign a contract saying he would divorce Patel after two years and treat her as his younger brother’s wife until then.
Is the Indian Society changing bold and modern?
