However, we believe that the best marriage in Indian sports this year was between star grappler Yogeshwar Dutt and Sheetal Sharma, the daughter of Haryana Congressman Jaibhagwan Sharma. In a show of great gesture, Yogeshwar refused to take any dowry for the marriage, and only accepted a token amount of Re 1 from the bride's family.

With such a gesture, Yogeshwar Dutt set himself and his family apart, as an example for the fans to follow. Dowry has been a menace for marriages in India, and Yogeshwar's gesture stands out as an example of what the right thing to do is.
