10 Brides Who Shattered Stereotypes About Women & Marriages In The Most Inspiring Way

by IForHer Team
January 22, 2024

In our patriarchal society, these beautiful brides carved their own rituals as they shattered the stereotype in a very beautiful way. Here are some of such brides that inspired many in their own special way:

1. Marrying at the right age

Suhasini Mulay got married at the age of 60. Mulay was in a long live-in relationship that ended in 1990. She told HT, “You are getting committed because you want to, not because society is pushing you. There is enough pressure from friends, country men, luckily not from my mother, who I wanted him to meet first. We got married within one and a half months of meeting each other on January 16, 2011.”

2. During Bridal Entry, Brothers hold phoolon ki chaadar 

As per our customs, we only see brothers carrying Phoolon ki Chaadar as bride makes an entry. Katrina broke the stereotype as her sisters carried the same for her. “Growing up, we sisters always protected each other. They are my pillars of strength and we keep each other grounded… May it always stay that way,” she wrote.

3. Bride Wants Expensive & Lavish Wedding

In the country, where people are obsessed with a “big-fat Indian wedding”, Yami Gautam and Aditya have set an inspiring exception. Their simple wedding touched the hearts of many. Many got inspired by the simplicity of this wedding when Yami Gautam shared how she wore her mother’s saree for her own wedding.

4. Brides Should Be Shy & Quiet At Their Wedding

As per our social norms, Indian brides are expected to be shy and sit quietly like a beautiful yet delicate showpiece. Because, that’s what “good, well behaved” women do or so is believed by our society.

But one courageous bride, Anjali, refused to follow the norm and broke the stereotype in the most adorable way possible. The bride from Kerala made a smashing entrance on her own wedding day by dancing her heart out. Other females across different age groups joined her as well.

8. Bride Throwing Away Puffed Rice To Repay Parents’ Debts

This bride recently became popular for shunning the age-old traditional ritual of Kanakanjali. During ‘Kanakanjali’, the bride is expected to throw rice at her mother and say that she has  ‘repaid all her debts’. But, this young woman rather than saying what she was expected to say, she said: “You can never repay parents’ debts.” The world came to know when her video went viral.

10. Marriage not with 7 Pheras but 8

Babita Phogat, a Commonwealth Games medalist-turned politician made sure that she sends across a special message to society through her marriage. The highlight of the wedding, drawing all the attention, was when the couple decided to take eight Pheras, instead of seven. The extra eighth Phera, that couple took, was dedicated to the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative, with the couple pledging to save and teach the girl child.
