75-Year-Old Man Dies The Morning After Marrying A 35-Year-Old Woman

A 75-year-old man from India who married a woman less than half his age died the morning after his wedding

According to NDTV, the incident took place in the Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh.

The man, Sangruram, was a farmer who had been living alone since his first wife died a year ago. The couple had no children. Hoping for companionship after years of solitude, he opted to marry the woman despite being significantly younger than him.

According to relatives, they had advised Sangruram against remarrying, but he chose to go ahead with his decision.

On Monday, 29 September, Sangruram married 35-year-old Manbhavati, finalising their union in court before performing traditional rituals at a local temple

Following the ceremony, Manbhavati said her new husband had assured her that she would be responsible for the household while he would "take care of the children" they planned to have.

The pair reportedly spent much of their wedding night talking.

However, by the next morning, Sangruram's health took a sudden turn for the worse. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead by doctors.

His death triggered speculation in the village, with some residents believing his death was a natural event, while others found the circumstances suspicious

Adding to the intrigue, relatives of the deceased halted the funeral rites, insisting on being present before the cremation could proceed.

Locals are now questioning whether police will open an inquiry or order a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death.
