According to news reports, the couple got married on November 5 in Palakkad’s Kanjikode. Raghu’s friends presented the agreement letter as a gift to the bride and it went viral after they shared it on social media.

Raghu is an employee at a private firm in Kanjikode and Archana is preparing for bank exams.

Asianet News said that Raghu has been part of a WhatsApp group comprising 17 badminton players. Giving surprises to friends on their wedding day has been a practice of the close-knit friends and the agreement letter was one among them.

In another incident in July, a couple from Assam signed a contract with a list of dos and don’ts. As per the contract, the bride “must and should wear saree everyday” and late-night parties are only permitted with the spouse. ‘Having only one pizza a month, going to gym everyday, shopping after every 15 days, always saying yes to home-cooked meals’ were the other weird additions that found place in the list.
