Marriage by a person to themself

 Sologamy or autogamy is marriage by a person to themself.Critics argue that the practice is not legally binding,unlike traditional marriage,while supporters of the practice argue that it affirms one's value and leads to a happier life.

          Antoine Cheval,a French man married himself  after many failed relationships and rejections of love proposals.He defines himself as a sologamist.

                   Sologamy or self-marriage has become increasingly popular in the 21st century, especially among affluent women.A travel agency in Kyoto is offering self-marriage packages for women,with some customers being wives who were dissatisfied with their original wedding.Some media outlets also reported the self-marriage of a British photographer in 2014 and an Italian fitness trainer in 2017.

            In June2023,an Indian woman from Gujarat,married herself ,following all rituals and customs of a traditional Hindu wedding.This was noted as India's first sologamy.She identified herself as bisexual and her reason for marrying herself is she that always wanted to be a bride but not a wife.

                       The trend of autogamy proves that in a world of growing individualism and selfishness and  a culture of instant gratification,narcissism is coming out on top.
