Recently, a woman took to the micro-blogging platform ‘X’ to share her frustration about her recent experience at the registrar’s office. She expressed her disappointment and anger after being compelled to climb multiple floors at the registrar’s office, despite the fact that she relies on a wheelchair for mobility. Her visit to the office was to register her marriage, and it turned into a distressing ordeal due to the poor services provided.
Virali Modi, the user, posted a series of pictures showcasing her marriage certificate along with her narrative, which began with, “I am disabled and I got married at the Registrars Office at Khar Mumbai on 16/10/23. The office was on the 2nd floor WITHOUT a lift. They wouldn’t come downstairs for the signatures and I had to be carried up two flights of stairs to get married.”

To make matters worse, she pointed out the dangerously steep stairs at the office and the perilously loose and rusty railings. What added to her disappointment was the absence of any assistance or accommodation, despite her prior communication of her disability to the office through her agent.

She went on to express her profound dissatisfaction, writing, “I am disheartened that my country’s government and citizens cannot accommodate to my disability. My faith in humanity has been destroyed by this ordeal. I am not a piece of luggage that needs to be carried up two floors. I am a human being and my rights matter!”
In response, her post received numerous comments from sympathetic individuals. One commenter congratulated Virali, saying, “Many congratulations Virali! I am sorry for the horrific experience; that too on your wedding day. I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness. May you continue to shine.”
