Love Beyond Limits? Can love really break the boundaries of society? Sundarban’s Riya and Rakhi shocked the world and got married in a temple. The family refused, but he said “love is all that really matters.” Now the question is – will the society accept them?
Sunderbans (West Bengal). A love story has come to light from Sundarban which has shaken the traditional thinking of the society. The two women not only confessed their love, but also got married in the temple in front of everyone. This is the story of Riya Sardar and Rakhi Naskar – two professional dancers who decided to break the constraints of society and live their lives on their own terms.
Where did this story begin?
Riya and Rakhi met about two years ago. Both were associated with the world of dance, and gradually their friendship deepened through phone calls. The relationship that started as friendship gradually turned into a deep love. When Riya told her family about her relationship with Rakhi, they refused to accept this relationship. Despite the closed-mindedness of the society and opposition from the family, Riya did not give up. She left her home and went to live with Rakhi – where Rakhi’s family stood firmly by her.
How did the marriage take place? The marriage took place in the temple.
On Tuesday, in the presence of local people and neighbours, the couple got married at a temple. They gave a new identity to their relationship by garlanding each other. The local people were also shocked to see this marriage, but gradually people tried to understand and accept it. Riya told the media – “I told my family, but no one believed. I decided that I will not leave the person whom I truly love. Love is what really matters.” Rakhi said, “We have been together for two years. Many people said that how can two girls live together, but we decided that we will not leave each other for the rest of our lives.”
Is the society ready to accept such relationships?
Riya and Rakhi’s marriage has raised a big question – is the society now ready to accept such relationships with an open heart? Their story proves that love has no gender, no boundaries. When two hearts are true, even the walls of society become weak.
Message from Sundarbans “Love is all that really matters”
This story of Riya and Rakhi is not just a marriage, but a message – “Love is what really matters. The thinking of the society has to change, because love cannot be bound by any bond.” This is not the first incident in West Bengal. Last year in Dubrajpur also, two women – Namita Das and Sushmita Chatterjee had set a similar example by getting married in the temple.
