Sant Kabir Nagar Man Helps Wife Marry Lover After Discord
Imagine being married to someone for a very long time, and then one of them falls in love with someone else.
That is what happened to a couple who live in a village in Sant Kabir Nagar, a district in Uttar Pradesh, a state in India.
Buddhiram and Phoolmati had been married for about 21 years and had five children together.
But a few months ago, Phoolmati fell in love with a younger man named Awadhesh.
This made life at home full of arguments and unhappiness, and Phoolmati even left home with Awadhesh for a while.
She came back after her family persuaded her, but the home stayed unhappy.
So Buddhiram made a surprising decision: he arranged for Phoolmati to marry Awadhesh in a wedding at a Shiva temple.
Buddhiram attended the ceremony and said he did not want to keep living with daily discord.
The wedding was attended by other villagers, and police said no complaint was filed.
Buddhiram Nishad (45) arranged for his wife Phoolmati (37) to marry her 26-year-old lover Awadhesh at a Shiva temple in Asrafpur village.
The couple from Debri village in Sant Kabir Nagar district married for love about 21 years ago and have five children, including an 18-year-old son.
Phoolmati fell in love with Awadhesh a few months ago, and she left home with him about two months ago before returning after family persuasion.
Buddhiram said he decided to arrange the wedding because he did not wish to live with daily discordance in the house.
The ceremony was held on Tuesday with villagers present, and Buddhiram attended the wedding and the customary farewell; police have received no complaint.
