This Viral Video Stirs Debate On Age Gap Between Husband and Wife, Here's Why

In South Asia, an ideal couple is generally considered one where the man is a few years older than the woman. In Western countries, there is much less moral policing around the ages of the partners. When it comes to the Indian subcontinent, huge age gaps between the couple are often not digestible to the majority of the population. Without getting into the intricacies of whether moral policing is right or wrong, we can be rest assured that when an elderly man marries someone his daughter’s age, it really does come across as odd to many people. One recent video that has been circulating online shows a supposed couple with a huge age gap between them, and people have been losing their minds.

The viral video showcases an 18 to19-year-old girl in a blue saree, standing alongside an elderly man who appears to be of grandfather’s age. Initially, the setup could lead viewers to believe they are father and daughter or grandfather and granddaughter, but the context quickly changes as a romantic song begins to play. The young girl is seen lip-syncing to the song, adding to the unexpected twist. Further adding to the surprise, the video includes text that reveals their relationship as husband and wife, breaking conventional expectations and sparking discussions online.

The viral video was shared on Instagram, which belongs to the girl featured in the video. In the caption, she simply wrote Husband, confirming the relationship portrayed in the video. The clip has garnered significant attention, with over 11 million views and more than 200,000 likes, sparking widespread interest and conversation due to its unconventional content. The comments were mostly inappropriate and belittling, with most people abusing the supposed couple for the huge age gap. It may be quite possible that the elderly man and the young woman have made this video just for entertainment purposes and are not related. News18 does not confirm the authenticity of the video.
