Lockdown: Youth goes to buy groceries, returns with wife

Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh): In a surprising incident, a mother came to the police station complaining that she had sent her son to buy groceries but he returned with his wife.

The teary-eyed mother who came to the police station to lodge a complaint said., “I had sent my son to do the grocery shopping today, but when he returned, he came back with his wife. I am not ready to accept this marriage.”

Speaking about the marriage, Guddu, 26-year-old groom, said: “I got married to Savita two months ago at an Arya Samaj Mandir in Haridwar.”

“However, we could not get the marriage certificate at that time due to lack of witnesses. I had decided to visit Haridwar again for my marriage certificate but could not do so as the lockdown was imposed,” he added.

“After returning from Haridwar, Savita stayed at a rented accommodation in Delhi. However, today I decided to bring her to my mother’s house as she was told to leave the rented accommodation due to lockdown,” said Guddu.

Giving a solution to the family feud, the Sahibabad Police have asked Savita’s house owner in Delhi to let the couple stay there during the lockdown period.
