At a fair, she argues with a boy called Shankar, in which Shankar's grandmother supports Gauri. After that, Shankar's grandmother sees Gauri singing in the evening prayer of the Shiv temple. His grandmother makes the decision that Gauri will be a perfect match for Shankar. Shortly thereafter, Gauri's marriage is fixed.

When Gauri is told that her marriage has been arranged, she is thrilled at first, then changes her mind when she finds out that her groom is Shankar, but finally reconciles herself to the marriage.
After she relocates to Shankar's residence, she spends much of her time playing with Shankar's little brother. Her husband starts to realize that Gauri has not matured yet. He is unable to become intimate with her. Gauri soon becomes bored. When, one day, Shankar tries to force Gauri to be intimate with him, the gap between Gauri and Shankar deepens.
