75-year-old man dies a day after marrying 35-year-old woman

A 75-year-old farmer in Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur district died just a day after marrying a 35-year-old woman, sparking suspicion among his relatives.

According to Indian media, the deceased, identified as Sangru Ram, had lost his first wife a year ago and had been living alone since.

Despite opposition from villagers due to his age, Sangru proceeded with a court marriage to Manbhawati, followed by a small temple ceremony.

Reports said it was also Manbhawati’s second marriage. She has two daughters and a son from her previous marriage, and Sangru had assured her that he would take responsibility for her children as well.

The bride told reporters that on the morning after their wedding, Sangru’s health suddenly deteriorated. He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

However, Sangru’s relatives termed the death “suspicious” and lodged a complaint with police, demanding an investigation.

Authorities have since initiated a probe and sent the body for post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death.
