From Wedding Bells To Funeral Rites: 75-Year-Old UP Groom Dies Hours After Marrying 35-Year-Old

In Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur district, a 75-year-old man named Sangru decided to marry again, even though many villagers had tried to convince him otherwise. Sangru, who was childless and without immediate family nearby, expressed a desire to have companionship in his later years. On Monday, he married 35-year-old Manbhavati through a court marriage, followed by a simple ceremony at a local temple, according to a report in India Today.

For Manbhavati, this was her second marriage. She already has two daughters and a son from her previous relationship. She told locals that Sangru had assured her that she would only need to take care of household matters, while he would provide financial support for her and her children.

Sudden death shocks the village

However, just hours after their wedding celebrations, tragedy struck. According to Manbhavati, she and Sangru spent time talking late into the night after their marriage. The next morning, his health suddenly deteriorated. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared him dead on arrival, the India Today report said. The exact cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
