Pune Man is Defying Sexist Stereotypes, Trolls by Wearing Mangalsutra Along with Wife Daily
News 18Calling oneself a feminist and practising it are two different things. Unlike usual Hindu marriages, where the groom ties the mangalsutra to his wife that symbolises her marital status, Shardul decided that even he would wear the mangalsutra to show that he is serious about equality. Talking to Humans of Bombay, Shardul said that in 2020, when the couple was planning their wedding, he asked Tanuja why is it that only a girl has to wear a mangalsutra. He did not stop just there, Shardul even said that he would like to change the tradition of the girl’s family bearing the wedding costs and told Tanuja’s parents that both the families would split the expenditure. With all these progressive steps taken by her partner, Tanuja asked Shardul if it was going to be a one day thing or if he would wear mangalsutra everyday.
