FROM COURTROOMS TO BESTSELLERS: ADITI SHREYA’S JOURNEY OF LAW, LITERATURE, AND LIFE

In a society fixated on extravagant Weddings, the true meaning of Marriage often fades into the background. Aditi Shreya, a corporate lawyer and first-generation advocate, has witnessed how hasty decisions can result in emotional turmoil and legal disputes. In her book, she challenges the notion of marriage as a personal choice versus a duty dictated by tradition.

The Making of an Author

Hailing from the modest city of Ranchi, Jharkhand, Aditi Shreya’s journey has been one of relentless learning and growth. She earned a BBA.LLB from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune, and an Executive Postgraduate Degree in General Management from IIM Visakhapatnam.

Aditi embarked on her legal career in 2018, practicing as a first-generation advocate at the Jharkhand High Court, Ranchi. Handling complex cases, especially those involving marital disputes, gave her deep insights into the realities of Marriage. This experience reinforced the importance of informed decision-making, ultimately inspiring her to write “Marriage, a Necessity?!”

Marriage, A Necessity?!

MARRIAGE, once a sacred institution, is now often overshadowed by extravagant WEDDINGS. In Marriage, a Necessity?!, Aditi Shreya explores its legal aspects, urging readers to question themselves whether “Marriage Is A Necessity or a Personal Choice”.

Aditi Shreya highlights how many are drawn to WEDDINGS over MARRIAGE, influenced by societal pressure, age, or fear. Rather than offering guidance, her book challenges norms, urging informed choices. It shifts the focus from merely “getting married” to “understanding marriage’s responsibilities, challenges, and long-term fulfillment” in today’s evolving landscape. Her book urges readers to make informed choices rather than blindly following traditions.

Battling Misconceptions

The title “Marriage, a Necessity?!”—featuring both a question mark and an exclamation—led to misconceptions, with many assuming Aditi Shreya opposed marriage entirely.

As an independent young woman, she faced scrutiny, judgments, and even taunts directed at her & even her parents. Writing a book challenging societal norms wasn’t easy, but her perseverance paid off—within a week of release, Marriage, a Necessity?! became an Amazon “Bestseller” and earned the “Most Gifted” tag.

In reality, Aditi Shreya deeply believes in the institution of marriage, but only when it is entered into for the right reasons.

Sparking Conversations That Matter

Aditi’s book appeals to young adults, professionals, and individuals contemplating marriage, as well as parents seeking to understand changing perspectives. It explores the balance between tradition and modernity, helping readers navigate the pressures of societal expectations while prioritising personal dreams.

Marriage, a Necessity?! sparks meaningful conversations about choice, commitment, and the evolving nature of relationships. It empowers readers to make more conscious decisions about their future that feel right to them.

Balancing Law and Literature

Aditi’s legal and corporate background played a key role in shaping her writing. It allowed her to craft narratives that are not only engaging but also rooted in reality. Her ability to balance both fields had her prioritising tasks and using any available free time to write, be it early mornings, late nights, or weekends. For Aditi, writing gives her a creative outlet to explore ideas and connect with readers on a deeper level.

Most Rewarding Moment in Aditi Shreya’s Journey As A Debut Author

For Aditi, the most satisfying moment was seeing her parents' pride as her image and book gained recognition in the society. A key highlight was her interview at the World Book Fair 2025, which saw a surge in views. Another milestone was achieving Amazon’s “Bestseller” and “Most Gifted” tags within a week of release.

Beyond rankings and accolades, Aditi cherishes her book’s impact—encouraging marriage as a conscious choice, not an obligation. The enduring support from her parents and readers, along with her personal growth, remain the most meaningful aspects of her journey as an Author.

What’s Next for Aditi Shreya?

Aditi's journey as a Debut Author is only just a beginning, and she fully intends to write more books in the future. Marriage, a Necessity?! was merely her first step, with future works set to challenge norms while offering legal insights. Alongside writing, her corporate career remains integral. As a corporate lawyer, she values the interplay between law and writing, both requiring research, analysis, and understanding of human behaviour. She envisions balancing both fields.

For those eager to dive into Marriage, a Necessity?!, the book is available in eBook and paperback on Amazon, Flipkart, and Ziffybees.
