Tying Mangalsutra is a very important ritual in a marriage ceremony and as far as we can remember during the ceremony groom ties Mangalsutra in brides neck. But recently, two brides from Karnataka did a role reversal, both tied the mangalsutras on their husbands during the wedding ceremony. We can surely say that the two couple have set a new example of gender equality.

The first couple, Amit and Priya, are software engineers who belong to Lingayat and Kuruba community, respectively. As per teachings of 12th-century Lingayat communities icon Basavanna has also previously advocated for equality of genders. Prabhuraj and Ankita the second couple also belong to two different communities, they did many things that breaks old stereotypes. They did not fixed the date of marriage and they did not had kanyadan in their marriage ceremony.
