New Delhi: In a weird incident, a groom in Uttar Pradesh was married off to the sister of the bride after the latter collapsed and died.
The incident occurred in Samaspur in Etawah district’s Bharthana. As the couple ready for ‘pheras’, the bride, Surabhi, immediately fell unconscious beside Manjesh Kumar, the groom.
The physician stated that she died from a serious cardiac arrest.
Surabhi`s brother Saurabh informed ANI, “We didn’t know what to do in the state of affairs. Both the households sat collectively and somebody prompt that my youthful sister Nisha needs to be married to the groom. The households mentioned the matter and each agreed.
The physique of Surabhi was stored in one room, whereas the wedding of the groom with Nisha was held and after the ‘baraat’ left, Surabhi’s final rites have been carried out, Saurabh stated.
“It was a tough call for our family. One daughter lay dead in one room and the wedding of another daughter was being solemnized in the other room. We have never witnessed such mixed emotions. The grief over her death and the happiness of the wedding has yet to sink in,” Surabhi`s uncle Ajab Singh informed the information company.
