How sologamy can set you free
Live MintFrom the moment she announced that she was going to marry herself, to the quick wedding on 9 June, Kshama Bindu has been in the news. “There is no relationship escalator in solo polyamorous relationships,” says Rachna K. Singh, head of the department of holistic medicine and mental wellness at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, Haryana, and director of the Delhi-based Mind and Wellness Studio. The term “relationship escalator” was first used in 2012 by journalist and author Amy Gahran, who blogged about “the default set of societal customs for the proper conduct of intimate relationships”. “We may use different words but relationship styles in India are far more fluid, even within less metropolitan contexts,” says Vohra. “Being solo poly helped me set higher standards and stand up for myself, which I didn’t do when I was in monogamous relationships,” says Sakshi Budhwani, 42, a Delhi-based corporate lawyer and solo polyamorist.
