Claim: Image from the wedding of Nirmala Sitharaman's daughter, where the bride is seen sitting on a man's lap while the bridegroom is tying her knot.
Fact-check: Viral Image shows the traditional wedding ceremony of Indian bowler Prasidh Krishna, not Nirmala Sitharaman's daughter - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral image does not show the wedding ceremony of nirmala sitharaman's daughter. the couple in the image are indian fast bowler prasidh krishna and his wife rachana. moreover, person on whose lap rachana is seated is not a priest, but her father. this image captures a moment from the traditional tamil brahmin wedding ritual known as kanyadaan, where the bride is symbolically seated on her father's lap while the bridegroom proceeds to tie the knot. hence the claim made in the post is false.
