A Great Marriage

Love sees no boundaries. I was just thrilled to read about the marriage between a Eunuch and a man. Both, the Eunuch, named Anarkali and the man, Pinu Patnaik, a government employee, used to meet everyday in a train.

Now, I don’t want to bestow upon them a gratuitous, patronizing halo because they just did what two lovers should do, I’m writing this simply to express my happiness. I hope the society doesn’t create legal and social problems for them evident by this:

The Superintendent of Police of Khurda Amitabh Thakur said that the police was aware of the marriage between a eunuch and a man in the city on Sunday.

“The marriage is certainly not legally acceptable. We are examining the matter”, said Thakur adding that the police may take action, if one of the partners lodges complaints.

Pinu, though not sure whether his “unusual” marriage would put him in trouble in his government job, claimed that he had not committed any crime. “I do not think I have done any blunder. I have married an eunuch. If this is not legal, I am ready to accept any punishment”, he said adding that he loved the person and was not worried about the gender.

Good wishes for the couple.
