Vadodara businessman gifts a land on moon to his fiancee

Vadodara (TIP)- For centuries, the beauty of the moon has remained a central theme amongst couples across the world. Even today, people promise to bring moons and stars for their partner’s happiness. For Hemali Patel of Vadodra, this, however, turned out to be more than just affectionate words when her fiance, 25-year-old businessman Mayur Patel, brought an acre of land on the moon, in her name. Hemali, who works as an engineer, got engaged to Mayur on February 27, this year, after a relationship of two and a half years. Expecting her would-be husband to gift her a diamond ring or a gold necklace, Hemali’s joy knew no bounds when Mayur surprised her with the ownership document of the land that he had brought on the moon, in her name. Although provided with a written document stating Hemali as the owner of the piece of the heavenly body, the couple can only treat their ownership as a digital property. An international treaty called ‘The Outer Space Treaty of 1967’ prohibits any individual or organization from laying claim to any celestial body, citing it as a common heritage of mankind.
