Anchored in love and respect

Moushumi and Siddhartha Chakraborti's journey of eventual love and soon after, becoming one, fulfils the expectations of a happy marriage with the ingredients of love, understanding, and acceptance.

In this week's Marital Musings highlight, we get to picture the story of a not-so-conventional marriage and set the prime example of a modern working couple.

Their tale began when both of them studied in the same college and department. They started as classmates, then as friends, and then as lovers. This affection led to their decision to settle down as soon as possible.

Their parents were never against the couple's decision to be each other's halves. Only one problem had arisen, which was the couple being inter-caste. But as Siddhartha added, "Initially, our parents had a problem about our caste's not being the same, but they eventually accepted our relationship as caste is not a problem in this day and age, and nothing changes even after marrying someone from a different caste."
