For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22
Story I
"In a disturbing incident, the sister of a bride in Uttar
Pradesh was made to marry the groom after the bride collapsed and died
in the middle of the wedding ceremony. The incident occurred in Etawah
district’s Sanadpur where Surabhi was tying the knot with local resident
Manoj Kumar.
After exchanging garlands as part of Hindu wedding rituals,
however, Surabhi collapsed on the stage of the ‘Jaymala’. A doctor was
called to treat her who upon inspection declared her dead. Surabhi seems
to have died of a massive cardiac arrest that occurred right in the
middle of the wedding. The families of both the bride and groom,
however, decided to continue with the ‘festivities’ by replacing the
bride with her sister.
“We did not know what to do in the situation. Both the
families sat together and someone suggested that my younger sister Nisha
should be married to the groom. The families discussed the matter and
both agreed,” Surabhi’s brother Saurabh told news agency IANS.
"Surabhi’s body was kept in another room and the marriage of
Manjesh was solemnized with Nisha. After the wedding, when the ‘baraat’
left, Surabhi’s last rites were held,” he said."

Story II
"A newlywed woman, still in her bridal clothing, reportedly died of a heart attack during her bidaai ceremony.
Thursday night, she was wed to Bisikesan
Pradhan of Tentulu village. The wedding was reportedly a small, family
affair at her parental home, according to Odisha TV.The following morning, as they prepared for the bidaai, the woman was inconsolable. She kept crying and would not stop.
The onlookers reported
she cried so much that she fainted. A guest at the wedding said Rosy
had been distressed since before, as her father passed away a few months
ago. Attempts were made at reviving her. Many people have been known to faint
under emotional duress. Once Rosy collapsed, family members and distant
relatives tried their best to get her back up. They sprayed water on
her face to get her back to consciousness. But nothing seemed to work.
So they finally rushed to the Dunguripallu CHC emergency. However, the
doctors declared her to be dead on arrival, meaning she passed away
either on the way to the hospital or at the house itself. The cause of
death was identified as cardiac failure. Since Rosy was a young,
otherwise healthy woman, the Binika Police were involved in her death
report. Her body has been sent for a post-mortem and the final results
will be presented after the autopsy."
