‘Nata tradition’
The couple was living together under a tribal custom called “Nata tradition”. In this, men and women living in Rajasthan’s tribal regions can choose to live with a partner without formal marriage.
The children born out of such unions get all the rights to the father’s property.
But such unions also have certain limitations.
Women in such relationships are typically excluded from participating in ceremonies like their children's weddings, the haldi ceremony, or welcoming the groom.
“They showed interest in getting married, and the entire family took the decision to go ahead with it. The village elders were also consulted, and the haldi ceremony took place on June 1. The wedding ceremony was conducted on June 4 with the entire village coming to celebrate it,” said Kanti Lal Kharari, the couple's son, to NDTV.
