Drums, Sweets, Support: Meerut Father Celebrates Daughter's Divorce

In many Indian families, divorce is still seen as a stigma. Women often face questions, blame and social pressure, and families usually respond with silence and worry. But in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, one family chose a different path, standing with their daughter and celebrating her divorce as a moment of support. After a family court in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut granted the divorce of a woman named Pranita, her retired judge father marked the moment by playing drums and distributing sweets outside the court complex. Relatives danced to drumbeats, and laddoos were shared. Videos of the celebration soon went viral on social media and became a topic of discussion. In the video, family members were seen wearing black T-shirts printed with Pranita's photograph and the message, "I Love My Daughter. My Heart, My Soul." Pranita, too, wore a black T-shirt that read, "My Family, My Life." Note: This video has been gaining significant traction and has gone viral since April 5, 2026.
