Dr Sachin Singh, a doctor at the hospital, stated:
“The woman had accidentally fallen from the roof due to which there was a minor injury in her spine.
“Her legs cannot move as of now.
“Since she was about to get married, we have given her permission to carry out the rituals.
“We have also advised her to avoid locomotion of the legs.
“It is beautiful to see the bride and the groom getting married despite the bride being bedridden.”
The couple was able to undergo wedding festivities in a somewhat muted and careful manner on the day they had planned to.
Awdhesh, the groom, said: “Whatever happened was destiny. I have decided to be with her and support her in times of trouble.”
The bride Aarti, shared: “Initially, I felt a bit apprehensive.
“But, later, my husband told me he will be there for me even if I don’t recover. I felt happy knowing that.”
