This bride named Priya was supported and accompanied by her father, mother and all her relatives who danced and celebrated her wedding by heading to the groom's place.

Priya spoke to NDTV and said that she was extremely happy and it was her childhood dream to ride a horse and reach the groom's place. She said, "I am extremely happy. This occasion usually comes in the life of boys. But in our house, my parents have raised me like a boy."

Priya's father named Narinder Aggarwal said that he wanted to break the myth that girls are inferior to boys. This is when Priya said that her father is always supportive of her and asked him to pursue law despite the fact that her family members were against it.

She said, "When I wanted to pursue law, a lot of people in my family told me that girls shouldn't pursue law. But my dad told everybody that he will ensure that I study law and become an advocate."
