A bride in Bhavnagar, India, died of a heart attack during her wedding rites at the marriage venue in the Subhashnagar area.
This terrible tragedy occurred in late February in front of Bhavnagar’s Bhagwaneshwar Mahadev Temple.
Hetal, the daughter of Jinabhai Rathore, was on her way to marry Vishal, the son of Ranabhai Butabhai Algotar of Nari village.
When the celebrations were forced to end, guests flooded the premises, with wedding songs playing in the background.
Hetal apparently felt disoriented and fainted while executing her wedding customs.
She was transported to a local hospital, where doctors determined she died of a heart attack.
Even though the family mourned Hetal’s loss, relatives presented an alternate plan to keep the wedding celebrations going. They proposed that the bride’s younger sister marry Vishal in her place.
Her family decided to marry her sister to the man and to carry on the wedding traditions with her younger sister.
According to reports, Hetal’s body was kept in cold storage until the ceremony was over.
Laxmanbhai Rathore, corporator of Bhavnagar city and leader of the Maldhari Samaj, termed the tragedy as tragic. He stated that, while the family was shocked by their daughter’s death, members of society persuaded them to set an example and not leave the bridegroom and his family empty-handed.
This isn’t the first time a family has given another daughter away after one died during the wedding ceremony. In June 2021, a family in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, India, gave the groom’s younger sister to him after the bride collapsed during the wedding ceremony.
