Salman Rushdie for wedding sans marriage
London: Indian-origin writer Salman Rushdie now says he does not think marriage is “necessary.” Attacking the institution of marriage, he said he did not believe in it. Women rushed to the altar only because they wanted to wear a “wedding dress,” he theorised.
The author of The Satanic Verses has married four times, in the most recent instance to Chennai-born Padma Lakshmi, with whom he split last year.
“It’s strange, given that I’ve been married four times, but I actually don’t think marriage is necessary,” the writer said in an interview for Elle magazine. “Girls like it, especially if they’ve never been married before — it’s the dress. Girls want a wedding, they don’t want a marriage. If only you could have weddings without marriages.”
He disclosed that he and Ms. Lakshmi had had marriage counselling, without success. — PTI
