Kaur, a 30-year-old medical doctor, belongs to Pehowa of Haryana's Kurukshetra district.
This is Bhagwant Mann's second marriage. He and his first wife Inderjeet Kaur had mutually divorced in 2015. Mann had said in a tweet at the time that he sacrificed his personal life for the development of Punjab.
Bhagwant Mann and Inderjeet Kaur have two children -- Seerat Kaur and Dilshan. Inderjeet and their two children moved to the United States after the divorce.

Before the wedding, Gurpreet Kaur wrote on Twitter, "The day of marriage has arrived". She also thanked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders for their congratulatory messages.
