“We were tormented by our husbands’ drinking and abusive behavior. This pushed us to choose a life of peace and love. We have decided to live in Gorakhpur as a couple and work to sustain ourselves,” Gunja shared with reporters.

Temple priest Uma Shankar Pandey, who witnessed the event, mentioned, “They performed the rituals, purchased garlands and sindoor, and left quietly after completing the ceremony.”

Their story serves as an inspiring narrative of choosing self-respect and love over societal constraints.
