The Political Love Story Begins
Lalu Prasad Yadav was born on 11th June 1948 in Phulwaria, Bihar and Rabri Devi was born in 1956. The two have a huge age gap. Lalu was 25 years old and Rabri was 14 years old. She was just a teen but child marriage was acceptable at that time.
Rabri’s family wanted a house for her where she would find all the comforts but her father had different views on this matter. Even though Lalu’s financial condition was not good, Lalu was married to Rabri. Everyone in her family was against the marriage due to monetary reasons and the age difference. However, her father remained firm on his decision.
The reason was at that point not many people were well educated, therefore, Rabri’s father wanted to find a groom for his daughter who is intelligent and educated. He saw all the required qualities in Lalu Prasad Yadav. The two finally got married on 1st June 1973 and the journey started from this point.
Rabri’s Adjustments
Rabri came from a good house and had all the comforts in her life. However, when she reached Lalu’s house, she was terrified to see the conditions of the house and thought how she would manage in this place for the rest of her life.
However, Rabri’s values gave her strength and she made several adjustments in the house. However, her struggles didn’t end here. Once again Rabri was scared as she saw her husband’s inclination towards politics. However, she never gave up and always supported Lalu in all his decisions.
