Earlier, a duo in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa, giving a new twist, got hitched in a hospital here. The unusual marriage was performed in a private hospital here in the presence of family members, patients and hospital staff. The marriage venue was shifted to the hospital after the bride met with an accident on her marriage day.
The couple tied the nuptial knot on Mahashivratri, two days after their scheduled marriage because of an unfortunate accident that left the bride with a fractured arm and leg. The bride performed the rituals on her hospital bed, which was beautifully decorated as a 'mandap'. The couple, who entered into wedlock in a novel manner, are Rajendra Chaudhary, son of Soudan Chaudhary, a resident of Bherughat, Ujjain, and Shivani, a resident of Julwania.
