For the purposes of this debate, Samuhik Vivahs refer to large-scale, collective marriage ceremonies for disabled people organized by philanthropic NGOs, community bodies, or local governments in India.

Quantum Immortality posits that due to infinite branching universes, an individual’s subjective consciousness always survives any fatal event by continuing in a timeline where they live. At the moment of death, the timeline branches into a reality that is identical to the original in every way, except for the precise micro-event that allowed the individual to survive, such as a bullet narrowly missing or a tumor proving benign. Because consciousness continuously follows a survivable branch, an individual subjectively never dies, aging into extreme longevity across increasingly improbable timelines. However, to observers in the original world, that individual dies normally, leaving a grieving reality behind.
