A love wedding in India has turned into a national controversy because of the groom's skin color, sparking a fierce debate about colorism and the prejudices still prevalent in society. Rishabh Rajput and Sonali Chouksey, a couple from Madhya Pradesh, saw their wedding video go viral, not for their happiness, but because of attacks targeting the groom's dark skin and the bride's supposed motives.<\/p>\n
Rishabh and Sonali met at university in 2014, stayed together for 11 years before getting married on November 23rd, surrounded by their families and traditional rituals. Their photos and videos, posted on social media to share their joy, quickly circulated, but the congratulatory messages were drowned out by mockery and memes targeting the groom's darker complexion. <\/p>\n
