A couple in Telangana’s Mahabubabad district has been conducting a symbolic wedding ceremony every year for their deceased son and his beloved for the past 22 years, with the ritual gradually drawing participation from across their village.
Lalu and Sukkamma lost their son Ram Koti in 2003 after he died by suicide when his relationship was opposed by the girl’s family. Around 20 days later, the girl also died by suicide.
