A viral video has left netizens stunned as a young woman introduces her father as her husband, claiming they were married in a traditional temple ceremony. The clip, which has reignited debates about morality and legality, challenges societal norms surrounding relationships like father-daughter and brother-sister bonds.
In the video, the 24-year-old woman confidently states, “This is my father, and we are happy after getting married.” The 50-year-old father supports her, adding, “Yes, she is my daughter. So what is the problem in this?”
When confronted by a bystander questioning their lack of shame, the father responds dismissively, “In which era are you living? Why be ashamed?”
The woman explains their motivation for sharing the video, saying it was a response to those who had gossiped about their relationship. “Our marriage is our answer to those who talk behind our backs,” she asserts.
The video, shared on X by Samajwadi Party’s Jai Singh Yadav, has garnered millions of views. Though believed to date back to before 2020, when TikTok was banned in India, its resurfacing has sparked fresh criticism and debate.

Many viewers have dismissed the video as a publicity stunt, questioning its authenticity. The Daily Guardian could not verify the accuracy of the claims in the clip.
The video has drawn strong reactions on social media, with some condemning the act outright. One user highlighted its illegality under the Hindu Marriage Code, noting that such unions are considered incestuous and invalid under Indian law. Another user, Paramjeet, commented, “Such people should be banned from all platforms.”
While some dismissed the video as entertainment, its controversial nature continues to provoke outrage and widespread discussion.
