Unbelievably, an online video shows an Indian bride being breastfed by her mother on the day of his wedding.
The video shows the man in his wedding dress with his mother.
In the meantime, they are surrounded with guests.
The mother is seen lifting her blouse up and easing her son’s head forward.
The groom agrees to breastfeed and proceeds. He does this while one of his guests holds on to his turban.
His mother briefly smiles as he looks at the camera.
The young man stops what he’s doing and looks at the camera.
While the wedding guests seemed unaffected by the events, social media users were more concerned.
Many people were shocked by the video, and they took to the comments section of the site to share their opinions.
One said: “Why is he getting married? The mum is so proud as well… wth have I watched!”
Another commented: “What did I just see.”
A third wrote: “Bloody hell!! This type of thing should not be seen, certain things are not for sharing, if I understand you!!”
Others chose to troll the groom with one user posting:
“Mama’s boy taken to a whole new level.”
However, some posted crude messages in relation to the man’s wedding night.
One said: “Bro getting his last-minute practice in just before the big night.”

The video shocked viewers unsurprisingly, but research has revealed that breastfeeding is a sexual obsession for some Indian men.
In the past, various analyses of India’s Google search data have revealed that queries related to breastfeeding adults are very popular in the country.
There are a lot of Indian Google searches that include “my husband wants me to breastfeed him”.
Google data from 2017 showed that almost the same number of searches for how to feed a baby as the searches for how to nurse an adult male was made.
VICE spoke with Pallavi Barnwal who is a New Delhi-based sexuality coach.
“Adult breastfeeding (ABF) can mean many things – be it just watching a woman breastfeeding, actually suckling the lactating breasts and deriving sexual pleasure out of that (termed as ‘lactophilia’), or simply having sex with a lactating woman.
“It can also be seen from a BDSM umbrella where I can command the other person to feed me or vice versa.”
But it is a fetish that no one talks about as it is considered a “freak” thing.
Sex educator Tonya Jone Miller said:
“It’s a perfect storm of a fetish because it combines two things that make us, as a society, very uncomfortable.
“First, there’s the idea that a man shouldn’t be dependent on a woman, that he shouldn’t be vulnerable and a woman shouldn’t be stronger than him.
“Second, it’s the idea of a woman sexualising the thing that’s thought of as the most sacred thing about her body and her femininity.”
