One form of social mainstreaming which gets a lot of community acceptance in the
Indian context is marriage. As the survivors become economically empowered and
start moving about in the society with self confidence they meet young men of their
choices and express their heartfelt desire to marry them. On conducting a transparent
investigation if the boy’s credentials are found to be positive than marriage to the
survivor is organized. In some cases when the survivor is HIV positive efforts are taken
to fix an alliance through the positive people’s network.
