After the Gauhati High Court reportedly granted divorce to a man and ruled that his wife’s refusal to wear ‘sindoor’ and ‘shakha’ amounted to her refusal to accept the marriage, several Internet users took to Twitter to share photos of them without the traditional symbols of marriage. #WithoutSmbolsOfMarriage has been trending as several women shared selfies and throwback pictures of them without all the things that married Hindu women wears per custom. While some user wrote that bangles, 'sindoor', 'bindi' and 'mangalsutra' are not the only makers of marriage, others said ‘love, mutual understanding and equality, matter in marriage’.

Love and relationships are not dependent on symbols. Does the husband wear any symbols? If he needs none why should it be mandatory for the wife? pic.twitter.com/EPy7FWV4T0

खुशियों और रिश्ते का सिम्बल्स से कोई लेना देना नहीं, पितृसत्ता वाले ये समझते हैं पर एक्सेप्ट नहीं करते.

According to reports, the Gauhati High Court had said that the wife’s refusal to wear ‘shakha and sindoor’ will project her to be unmarried and also signify her refusal to accept the marriage with the husband. The court further added that such categorical stand of the wife points to the clear intention of that she is ‘unwilling to continue her conjugal life with her husband’.
Furthermore, the court reported also added that the woman had ‘compelled and prevented’ her husband from performing his statutory duties toward his aged mother. The court called it an ‘act of cruelty’ and booked her under the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. Meanwhile, the wife had allegedly accused her husband and his family members of torturing her, however, the allegation was ‘unsubstantiated’.
The court in the order said, “Such acts of lodging criminal cases on unsubstantiated allegations against the husband and/or the husband's family members amounts to cruelty as held by the Supreme Court”.
