Was she married to Gerard Cunha or not? The NYT claims she wasn't, the couple lied about being married so that their neighbours wouldn't object to them living together. (Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/magazine/arundhati-roy-the-not-so-reluctant-renegade.html) Quote: "Without money to stay in the student hostel, she moved into a nearby slum with her boyfriend, Gerard da Cunha. (They pretended to be married in deference to the slum’s conservative mores.).... After graduation, she briefly lived with Da Cunha, in Goa, where he was from, but they broke up, and she returned to Delhi." 2402:8100:3184:7ED2:913F:D5ED:6AD6:574E (talk) 16:26, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
