Weddings are known for their diverse rituals, but some customs can be rather unconventional. A recent viral post sheds light on one such peculiar pre-wedding ritual that has left a young woman in distress. The post, shared on Reddit, narrates the girl’s ordeal as she is being coerced into marrying a clay pot, known as “Matka,” before her actual marriage. In her plea, she explains her reluctance and seeks advice on how to handle this situation.
The 26-year-old woman, a resident of Mumbai, expresses her frustration in the post. She describes her parents’ insistence on the clay pot marriage, claiming it will ensure her future husband’s well-being and prevent the marriage from breaking. However, as an atheist, she vehemently opposes this idea. Her parents, on the other hand, perceive her refusal as disrespect and associate it with various beliefs. Although she acknowledges that her parents cannot physically force her, the constant discussions about this ritual have become mentally distressing.
She seeks advice and assurance from the Reddit community, expressing her determination to stand her ground. In her description of her parents, she mentions that her mother is a B.Com graduate, and her father is an engineer, both well-educated individuals.
