“A marriage contract for me is as binding as any in business, and I have always believed in sticking to an arrangement,” wrote author J. Paul Getty, and one newlywed couple in Assam really understood the assignment. They signed a pact just after tying the knot on June 21. Shanti Prasad, 24, from Paltan Bazar in Guwahati exchanged vows with the love of his life Mintu Rai in his red lehenga and soon after, the happy couple was found. The blow of his life when he was asked to sign a contract right after the marriage.
The contract was clearly designed to minimize all conflicts between couples, which are often overlooked in the days of courtship. The quirky key points in this include one pizza a month, always saying yes to “ghar ka khana”, “must have” and “wearing saris every day”, late night parties “allowed” but “only with me”, Going to the gym daily, making Sunday breakfast, taking good pictures at every party and going shopping every 15 days.
Who on earth came up with such a contract? “Friends made this pact as a wedding gift. He had told about a unique gift but we were completely unaware of what it was. We both signed it. I love pizza but since I’m on a diet, it’s one pizza a month. Similarly, he will go to the gym every day. I love the Sunday breakfast part; I would love puri sabzi or some spicy curry. Mintu can be cooked once a week. Talking about the sari, I was hesitant but agreeing with the rest, he agreed. I thought I could go with it,” Shanti said.
Shanti, who has completed her graduation and is working in a coaching center, now prefers to take care of her new home and family for at least a few years. “Our family was very happy with the agreement,” she said.
