Mumbai, December 2: A viral video featuring a young woman claiming to have married her father has sparked widespread shock and debate. In the clip, the 24-year-old woman boldly introduces her 50-year-old father as her husband, stating they were married in a traditional temple ceremony. The video, shared by Samajwadi Party leader Jai Singh Yadav on X on November 27, has quickly gone viral, drawing millions of views. The claims made in the video have ignited intense discussions on legality, morality, and societal norms. Despite the controversy, the authenticity of the video remains unverified.

The video, believed to date back to before 2020 when TikTok was still operational in India, shows the father and daughter defending their controversial union. In the clip, the woman says their marriage is a response to rumours and gossip about their relationship. The father, standing beside her, dismisses criticism with a striking statement: “In which era are you living? Why be ashamed?” The duo appears unapologetic, claiming the marriage was conducted in a temple following traditional rituals. Their statements have sparked outrage, with many questioning the legality and ethics of such a union. Kulhad Pizza Couple Viral Videos: 5 Times Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur Gave Us Couple Goals With Their Fun and Trending Instagram Reels (Watch).
