A man in Betul, a district in Madhya Pradesh, India got married to two women at the same time in the same ceremony on July 8. The nuptials were attended by villagers and family members, who witnessed what may be the first wedding ever with two brides marrying the same man.

Sandeep Uike, the groom in question, married two women, one from a district called Hoshangabad and the other from Koyalari village. He first met his Hoshangabad bride while he was in Bhopal for his studies. While he dated the woman, his family began plans for an arranged marriage between him and the woman from Koyalari village. Of course, all parties involved were unhappy, and the families of all three met to resolve the matter.

Together, they came to the conclusion that, should both women agree, Uike would marry both of them. It is apparent that they both agreed, and the wedding plans commenced.

Mishrilal Parate, vice-president of Janpad Panchayat Ghodadongri (a governmental organisation) told The Siasat Daily that none of the family members were opposed to the union.

The ceremony took place in a village called Keria, and the required rituals were performed. According to The Siasat Daily, this was the first occasion in history where a man made vows to two women at the same time.

Authorities in the district, however, are investigating the event and how it occurred since weddings are not yet allowed due to coronavirus restrictions. They said that permission is needed for weddings to take place, and none was given to these families.

There are two pieces of jewellery that you’d never want to lose or replace. These are your engagement ring and your wedding ring. Unfortunately, mistakes do happen.

You could lose your ring by mistake, misplace it or forget it in a different city while you’re travelling. It could also get stolen or it may get damaged. If any of these were to happen, we know you’d like to ensure that you can replace the ring, or get it fixed.

Solutions may cost you big bucks though. That is unless you have insurance. Ring insurance is imperative! You’ve probably spent a lot of money on the ring. It’s bad enough that you lose the sentimental value of the ring. Let’s not have you lose the monetary value too. That would just add insult to injury.

Getting insurance isn’t that difficult to do, so make it a top priority post engagement.

All you need to do is call up the insurance broker and ask them what insurance options are on offer. Often people think jewellery is automatically covered in home insurance. However, this is often not the case.

If your ring is stolen from your home, it will be covered under home insurance. But often, if the ring exceeds coverage limits you won’t be able to claim for it. If you’re planning on wearing your ring outside the house (of course you are) you will need to specify the ring under “All Risks” on your insurance policy.

It is, of course, possible to get stand-alone insurance for your ring, however its much more affordable to have the ring insured under an existing homeowners policy or something similar to that.

Important to remember for ring insurance, is that you can’t just call and ask. You have to show the insurer the proof of value of the ring. This is what to do before you call any brokers. Get your ring appraised and keep the evaluation as proof of ownership too. If you can’t produce this evidence, insurers may not cover you if your ring is lost or stolen.

So if you’ve just been given a ring, get those documents and get it insured. You’ll ensure that all is not lost, even though your ring may be.
