Bobby married Ramneek in February 2016 “According to the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, the marriage takes place between the groom and the bride. Marriage takes place between a male and a female and not between a transgender, who converts into a woman, and a man.

These are the points we have raised,” he told News18. The court has set March 5 as the next date of hearing.
