This Groom Has The Most Refreshing Take On The ‘Saat Vachan’ & It’s Making Us Swoon

This Groom Has The Most Refreshing Take On The ‘Saat Vachan’ & It’s Making Us Swoon

For aeons, marriages in India have favoured the men in the society. Besides all the patriarchal rituals, women are also expected to pack their entire lives and make someone else’s home their own. They also take on several responsibilities, including cleaning, cooking, and literally picking up after her husband (and family) in hopes of being crowned the perfect ‘bahu’

Men, on the other hand, have the bar so low, that doing the bare minimum gives them the title of the ideal husband. SMH, totally unfair! However, things are slowly and progressively changing, and this groom is proof!


In a video that’s taking the Internet by storm, the groom said something so sweet (and hella refreshing) that made everyone in the crowd swoon. During the saat vachan (seven vows), the pundit called the bride his “ardhangini” (his other half). He also said that she’s entitled to half of the groom. To this the groom replied, “aadhe ki kyu, pure ki hain”, meaning “why only half, she completes me entirely”. NGL, that’s so adorable!

The groom also said “inke dukh saree mere hai, sukh saree inke hai” (all her sadness is mine and all my happiness is hers). How cute is that? After these kind words by the groom, the crowd agreed in ‘awws’. Even the comment section was filled with people calling the bride ‘lucky’ and that she should never let him go. TBH, we couldn’t agree more!

In a country like India, we barely witness a change in archaic traditions, especially when it comes to weddings. Even today, we can see several weddings with patriarchal rituals such as Kanyadaan (literally translating to ‘donating’ the bride) and the infamous dowry that has now changed to giving “gifts” to the groom’s side. 

With traditions like these still in place, this video of a groom giving his to-be wife the respect and adoration she deserves is such a breath of fresh air. We believe that all women should be treated this way and we hope men are taking down notes. 

As for this bride and groom, we wish them both a very happy life and marriage. Aaj ke bad, saat vachan ho, toh aise hi ho!
