Vinesh Phoghat who made India proud by being the only woman to win a gold medal at the Asian Games 2018, a few months ago got engaged to Somvir Rathee at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi after her arrival from Jakarta. Today, the Asian Games gold medalist got hitched to Somvir in a private ceremony in Haryana. Generally, during a marriage, a couple would exchange seven vows but Vinesh and Somvir exchanged eight. The newlyweds vowed to take up the cause of female foeticide in Haryana.

In the eight vow, the couple promised each other to 'save daughters, teach daughters and to let them play.' Several pictures of the wedding were splattered all over the Internet and were shared by the fan pages. Vinesh's sister Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat were also there to bless the newlyweds.
