SONIPAT, India (Kashmir English): A man in India’s city of Sonipat brought a snake charmer to his in-laws in an attempt to persuade his estranged wife to return.
The incident followed a domestic disagreement involving the couple. The snake charmer episode was later shared widely online.
The woman had been residing with her parents following the discord with her husband.
The unusual approach to reconciliation drew mixed response from social media users, with some treating it as humour and others criticising the method as inappropriate for resolving a domestic issue.
Snake charmers
A snake charmer is a traditional street performer who appears to hypnotize snakes—usually cobras—by playing a wind instrument known as a been.
The performer coaxes the snake to sway, giving the illusion that the reptile is ‘dancing’ to the music.
