A woman married a guest after her
husband-to-be didn’t appear, Times of India reports.
Ponradha, 23, daughter of Palpandi
of Lakshmimanagaram near Arumuganeri in Kanyakumari district was betrothed to
be married to Sithiraivelu, 35, son of Jayaraman of Lakshmipuram in
Kayalpattinam of the same district.
The wedding was to be held on
Wednesday and arrangements were on in full swing in the bride’s hometown. They
had prepared to welcome the bridegroom on Tuesday evening and were awaiting his
arrival when they were informed that he had gone missing.
Sithiraivelu’s family had claimed
to the bride’s family that Sitharaivelu had a quarrel with them on Monday and
walked out of their home.
Though they had been expecting him
to come back as usual, he did not return, they had further said. Hearing this,
the bride’s family went into a frenzy, as a stopped marriage would affect the
girl’s future.
The news spread around the town of
Lakshmimanagaram like a wildfire when Sivakumar, a relative of the bride who
had come to take part in the wedding, agreed to marry Ponradha after his
relatives persuaded him to do so.
The wedding then took place as per
the schedule, much to the relief of the family. The other guests who had come
there also congratulated and appreciated Sivakumar for his timely gesture.
