After the woman lost her husband to cancer, her in-laws decided to continue treating her as their own daughter and arranged her remarriage so she could move forward with her life.As part of the wedding ceremony, her father-in-law, Dinesh Vairagi, performed her Kanyadaan, a ritual traditionally carried out by the bride’s parents.Speaking to ANI, Dinesh said the family considered it their responsibility to help her start over. Calling her a wonderful daughter-in-law, he said they had accepted her as their daughter and hoped their decision would encourage other families to support the remarriage of widowed women in similar circumstances.
Guests appreciate the family’s decision
Guests at the ceremony praised the family’s gesture, describing it as a compassionate and progressive step that could help change society’s perception of widowed women’s remarriage.
Bride’s father recalls the promise that was kept
Speaking to ANI, the bride’s father, Rambabu Vairagi, said he never imagined his daughter’s in-laws would arrange her remarriage after she lost her husband.
