VADODARA: A young woman who failed to marry her love interest during his lifetime, tied the knot with his body in a remote town in Gujarat's Anand district.

The 20-year-old bride got married to the corpse of the 25-year-old groom who died in an accident on Thursday.

The marriage of Tulsi Devipujak with the body of her dead lover of seven years, Sanjay Dantania, was solemnised before their family members including their four-year-old girl, who was born during the live-in relationship they shared before he died, the woman told reporters at Umreth.

The two were in love and as they could not get married in their village due to restrictions from the panchayat, they fled to Surat and began living together.

The couple had returned to Umreth recently as their parents promised them that they will get them married, she said.

However, Sanjay accidentally fell in a well and died.

Following his demise, Tulsi insisted that she would marry Sanjay before he is cremated.

The family members erected a mandap, dressed the deceased Sanjay as a groom and conducted the marriage rituals.

Tulsi allowed her lover's body to be cremated after the marriage.

Resident deputy collector of Anand Ishwar Patel said the district administration was trying to verify the incident.
