AHMEDABAD: It was not a usual sight at an all
caste mass marriage function
in Vastral where the groom performed the `Saat Phera' ritual while holding his bride in his
arms
.
It is Chandrakant Parmar who has decided to stand by Meena Rathod who cannot stand owing to
polio.
Chandrakant, 25, who works in a textile mill, fell in love with Meena three months ago. In Meena’s words: “When he proposed to me, I couldn’t believe him. Initially, I dissuaded him, citing my physical conditions. However, he remained steadfast and eventually I gave in. Each of our families tried to make him understand about the challenges involved in this alliance, but he remained firm in his resolve. Finally, we got married.” Chandrakant explains, “My two brothers are with
disabilities
so is my elder brother’s wife. When I saw Meena, I thought that if I could make her happy for the rest of her life, my life would be worthwhile.”
