In the first same-sex marriage in Manipur, a 25-year-old ‘groom’ married his companion of six years, a 28-year-old man, at a private function on Thursday. The two exchanged bouquets to solemnise the wedding in the presence of a modest gathering at a community hall in the heart of the city.
Sandip, the ‘groom’, and Nikhil, the ‘bride’ were in a relationship for the past six years and decided to wed.
The parents of the couple were opposed to the marriage. The wedding was attended by a number of well-wishers and friends.
