Marriage, and space for women to say No
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|June 15, 2025
A conniving wife (allegedly). Splashy wedding videos (visibly). Picturesque honeymoon (unarguably). And then, the plot twist, murder. The exclamation marks just insert themselves.
There is no escaping this "Honeymoon Hathyakaand" in the mainstream press, TV news and social media. So much of what is being recorded is speculation with a large side of moralising — women are going too far, laws "favouring" women must be repealed and, even, take the family along on your honeymoon.
The police investigation into the death of 30-year-old Raja Raghuvanshi whose body was found in Sohra, the former and famous Cherrapunji, on June 2 is underway. Married on May 11, his 25-year-old wife Sonam has been arrested with four other men, including one said to be her boyfriend, allegedly for a hit job on the new husband.
Tucked away behind the screaming headlines is a story of love, longing, and marriage in modern India.
