11th Son Who Promised Dying Father To Marry Off 10 Sisters Says He's Already Rs 35 Lakh In Debt

A viral social media video has drawn attention to the immense financial burden one man says he has taken on to honour a promise made to his late father. The young man claims he is already struggling with debt worth nearly Rs 35 lakh after arranging the weddings of three of his ten sisters, with seven more marriages still ahead of him.In the widely shared clip, the man recounts his family's story, explaining that his father had hoped for a son after having ten daughters. According to him, the request that would shape his future came during his father's battle with cancer.The man says that in his final days, his father asked him to make a solemn promise, that he would personally take responsibility for arranging and funding the weddings of all ten sisters without

seeking help from relatives or dividing the responsibility among others.He agreed to the request at the time, he says, unaware of the financial challenges it would eventually bring.According to the man, he has already conducted weddings for three sisters, but doing so has left him under significant financial strain.He claims his current debt stands at approximately Rs 35 lakh. With seven sisters yet to be married, he estimates that fulfilling the remaining responsibilities could require an additional Rs 2-3 crore over the coming years, considering the expenses associated with wedding ceremonies, gifts and other family expectations.“After this, if any loan remains, I'll get married myself,” he says in the video with a smile that many viewers described as both emotional and heartbreaking.“By the time my children are born, I'll be in my 60s or 70s and they'll be toddlers!”Note: Times now could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral post.

The video has generated strong reactions online, with many social media users expressing admiration for his commitment to fulfilling his father's final wish despite the financial burden involved. However, some doubted his story. Several commenters described his actions as a rare example of dedication towards family responsibilities. One social media user wrote, “This is what real responsibility looks like.”Others, however, questioned whether carrying such a burden should come at the expense of his own future plans and financial security. Another user commented, “Family love is beautiful, but one must also think about one's own future.”
