The lengths to which lovers will go are well-known. Sometimes, they take actions that endanger their own lives. Such is the case of a couple from Bhagalpur, Bihar, whose video has recently gone viral. The two loved each other deeply. After a year-long affair, they decided to get married. However, both families disapproved of the relationship. Therefore, the couple ran away from home and hid in another village. When the villagers found out, they arranged the couple’s wedding.
Initially, the villagers asked them if they had run away from home. The couple responded that they loved each other and would end their lives if they couldn’t marry. The villagers showed generosity and had the couple married in a temple. Afterward, the bride made a video, stating that she was not forced into anything. She married of her own accord. She added that if anything happened to her, her husband, or her in-laws, her family would be responsible, particularly her uncle.
The incident reportedly occurred in the Sanhaula police station area. Shivam, a resident of Lodipur Khurd, and his girlfriend from Chhoti Sardho village in the Sabour police station area, had been in a relationship for a year. When their families learned of the affair, they opposed it. Due to the families’ lack of consent, the couple then ran away. They later sat near a hospital in Sanhaula. When the villagers inquired, the couple said that they loved each other and had run away. Both were adults.
The villagers then called a priest and had the couple married in the Baba Bholenath temple according to Hindu rituals. The villagers themselves acted as the groom’s and bride’s sides. The villagers made all the wedding arrangements and then sought the blessings of the deities in the temple. The girl’s statement is now going viral on social media.
