Koppala: A man from Karnataka has married a visually challenged woman from West Bengal.
This unique marriage took place in Vasavi Kalyana Mantapa in Karnataka's Koppal in presence of relatives and friends on Wednesday. The Bengali woman Pooja Ghosh had met her would-be groom Manjunath Shresthi through a matrimonial site, where the latter had mentioned that he would marry only a physically challenged person.
Pooja had lost her vision due to a tumour four years back. After interacting with each other for a few months, both started liking each other and fell in love. After getting consent from their parents, they finally tied the knot.
Pooja hails from West Bengal and lost her father a few years back. She lives with her mother and brother, who is suffering from some health problem. She came to Bengaluru for her brother's treatment and was staying here. Family sources said though Pooja was of marriageable age, she was not getting a groom as she was blind.
