In Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, wedding invites for two Muslim grooms, Anil and Sanjay, went viral because they featured Hindu names.
The weddings, set for November 12 in Gangoh, sparked a social media buzz and some heated debate about the names on the cards.
Partition era origin and venue threats
The use of Hindu names goes back to the 1947 Partition, when local Hindu families sheltered the grooms' ancestors.
Their descendants have kept this tradition alive, but after the invites spread online, threats were made against the wedding venue.
Police ensured both weddings proceeded peacefully
Police responded quickly to ensure safety after a complaint from the brides' family.
Thanks to extra security, both weddings went ahead peacefully.
