Farmer’s Son Seeks Sharad Pawar’s Help To Find Bride, Says ‘Willing To Become Ghar Jamai’
Akola (Maharashtra): A 34-year-old farmer’s son from Maharashtra’s Akola district has written to Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar, seeking his help in finding a bride. As reported by ABP Live, the man’s heartfelt letter highlights not just personal loneliness but also deeper social and economic challenges faced by rural youth in India.
A Personal Letter to Sharad Pawar
In his handwritten note, the farmer’s son expressed concern over being unmarried and said he feared he might never find a life partner. Appealing directly to the veteran leader, he urged Pawar to “consider his loneliness” and help him start a family.
The man said he was ready to become a ghar jamai—a husband living with his wife’s family after marriage and promised to “work hard and be a good husband.”
Rural Reality Behind the Request
The unusual appeal draws attention to social issues in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions, where many farmers face rejection in marriage due to financial hardship and uncertainty in agriculture. Families are reportedly reluctant to marry their daughters into farming households, fearing instability, debt, and declining income due to crop losses and drought.

The Agrarian Crisis and Social Impact
The letter reflects how India’s agrarian crisis extends beyond economics. In drought-prone districts, low crop yields and heavy loans have affected both livelihoods and social relationships. For many young men in farming families, the inability to find a bride has become another dimension of rural distress, amplifying feelings of loneliness and insecurity.
Awaiting Response from Sharad Pawar
So far, there has been no official reply from Sharad Pawar or the NCP (SP), but the man’s emotional plea has sparked conversations on social media. Many users have empathized with his situation, calling his transparency and courage “a sign of genuine rural struggle.”
