Patna: April 27, 2008
 At a function organized by the Patna District Adarsh Chaurasia Sabha at the house of State legislator Ganga Prasad on Sunday, 11 men were united in wedlock with 11 women of their own community setting an example of dowry-less wedding.
The men and women came from various districts including Khagaria, Samastipur, Patna, and Hajipur. Following some revelry, a community wedding was performed that brought the couples together in the presence of several guests.
