Sakshi (24) and Kadian (23) had got engaged in October last year, two months after she won the Olympic medal.
Sakshi had ended India’s painful wait for a medal at the Rio Olympic Games last year by clinching the bronze in the 58kg category, pulling off a sensational 8-5 victory over Aisuluu Tynybekova in the play-off bout.
Kadian won a bronze medal at the 2010 Youth Olympics and clinched silver at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Many sports personalities took to Twitter to congratulate Sakshi.
Wish you a very happy married life @SakshiMalik . Couldn’t make it because of IPL camp. Best wishes for a life of joy and no kushti at home
