A woman in Mumbai who uses a wheelchair has reportedly claimed that she had to be carried to the second-floor office of a marriage registrar in the city on her wedding day because the building had no lift and the officials allegedly refused to come down to complete the formalities, according to the PTI.
"How is this fair? What happened to the Accessible India campaign? Just because I`m a wheelchair user, do I not have the right to get married to someone I love? What if someone had slipped and what if I had fallen on my wedding day? Who is responsible?" asked Virali Modi, who identifies herself as a disability rights activist, in a thread on X on Wednesday.
