Akola Man’s Viral Plea to Sharad Pawar Seeks Bride, Offers to Be ‘Ghar Jamai’

The case highlights marriage challenges in rural Maharashtra rooted in agrarian distress.

Overview

  • A 34-year-old from Akola handed a handwritten request to NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar during a Nov. 8 visit, asking for help to find a wife.
  • The letter pledged he was willing to live with his future spouse’s family as a ghar jamai and said a match from any community was acceptable.
  • Reports say he included his address and mobile number, describing persistent loneliness despite repeated attempts to marry.
  • The note spread widely on social media and prompted both sympathy and amusement as the discussion broadened to rural bachelors’ challenges.
  • Coverage connects his struggle to drought, low crop returns and debt in Marathwada and Vidarbha, and there has been no public response from Pawar or NCP (SP) so far.
