A surprising and unique story has come from the Shillai area in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, where two real brothers have married the same girl. This unusual marriage has caught everyone’s attention and is being widely discussed across the state. Videos of the wedding are also going viral on social media, showing the bride sitting between both grooms during the ceremony.
According to local sources, the brothers made this decision to protect their ancestral land from being divided. They wanted to continue the tradition of living together in a joint family, where everything is shared and no land or property is split between siblings. This way, the family wealth stays united and strong.
In many remote villages of Himachal and other hilly areas, such traditions were followed in the past, especially when land was scarce and families wanted to avoid legal and personal disputes. However, this kind of marriage is extremely rare nowadays and has become almost unheard of in modern times.
The family involved says they are happy with the arrangement and the bride has accepted both men as her husbands. People in the village have mixed reactions—some are shocked while others are calling it a smart move to preserve unity and resources.
While this marriage is not legally recognized under Indian law, it highlights how some traditional practices still exist in far-off places. The incident has sparked debates online and offline about customs, legality, and the changing face of rural society.
