Hows Before Vows

1 Health details: "If you or your partner are suffering from physical health or mental health issues, make it part of the pre-marriage discussion," says Tanya Appachu Kaul, (@yourinstalawyer). "Marriage by concealment of material facts is grounds for annulment. You can choose your partner, but the choice needs to be an informed one."

2 Religious views: Kaul says that in India, laws regarding marriage, divorce, succession and inheritance are governed by religious laws. "In the case of an interreligious marriage, it is important for partners to discuss issues such as which religion to follow, whether one partner will convert or not and which religion they want their children to follow."

3 Last names: Legally there is no requirement for either spouse to change their last names. "It is their choice," says Kaul. "If a woman does change her surname, it needs to be on all key documents. There should not be any inconsistencies."

Faking a flex. If you have FOMO about concerts, you’re the right market for Get Your Flex. The Insta-based service sells concert video footage, so customers can pretend that they were at the Maroon 5 gig, or paid ₹30,000 for Dil-Luminati seats. For ₹99, you can also be tagged in a concert video by a cool “friend”, or get a clip that you can repost. Now, if there’s more buzz online than at the venue, you know why.
