Marriage performed in hospital ICU

Meerut: A wedding was on Wednesday solemnized in a hospital here, and that too in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

18-year-old Renu and 24-year-old Raj Kumar alias Sonu tied the knot at a local hospital where the groom-to-be was admitted after suffering serious head injury in a road accident.

Sonu, who hails from Bulandshahr in western Uttar Pradesh, also fractured both his legs in the mishap on Tuesday.

As Renu insisted on going ahead with the wedding, which was originally slated for today, a priest was called hurriedly to perform the rituals.

Mantras were recited and garlands exchanged, notwithstanding strong objections from the boy's side.
