This might come across as an act of perversion or a serious blasphemy looking at the conventional forms of the Indian society but then Tamilnadu which is known for its rich tradition and heritage has turned out to be the venue for a rather controversial custom which has come into vogue now.
It is heard that a society has been formed by a group of like minded people and this is made irrespective of caste and religion backgrounds. Those who want to be members of the society have certain rules and regulations to follow and one of the norms they have is the marriage rituals which might be a bit funny.
The norm says that the wedding will be conducted like a reception but then all female members would go and hug the Bridegroom and give him kisses and will not stop until he takes his hands away from any part of them and the male members would repeat the act with the bride in similar way. Both bride and groom should enjoy the multiple hugs and kisses of opposite sex. The groom has every right to touch, knead or caress any part of ladies (be it housewives, spinsters or anyone) and the latter shouldn’t say ‘no’ or protest. And similarly the male folks can touch the bride as they like. Many married couples have joined this society. Every ‘Dynamic Marriage’ is attracting about 500 to 1000 invitees. The underlined part in this entire show is that the hug and kiss carry only lust and desire than affection or appreciation.
This concept has brought in a lot of attention and a research was done by the famous Nakkeeran TV and a video is already there on this in the famous Youtube sight. ‘Tamil Culture’, ‘Nakkeeran’ are the key words for those videos.

The society is called ‘Dynamic’ and the marriages are known as ‘Dynamic Marriages’. No one knows how this marriage system is being accepted by people.
