In one such wedding that turned tragic yet bizarre, a bride breathed her last amid her wedding ceremony at the marriage venue.

This incident took place in front of the Bhagwaneshwar Mahadev Temple in Indian Gujarat's Bhavnagar.

After the girl's death, the family then decided to solemnise the marriage between the groom and the sister of the dead bride Hetal.

If reports are to be believed, Hetal fell ill and collapsed while performing wedding rituals beside Vishal, the groom. She was rushed to a hospital, however, she was declared brought dead by the doctors.

In a dramatic twist, the family then proposed a plan to continue the celebrations and suggested that the younger sister should be married to the groom. The bride's body was reportedly kept in cold storage until the marriage was solemnised.

Terming the incident 'very sad', corporator of Bhavnagar city and leader of Maldhari Samaj, Laxmanbhai Rathore asserted that the members of society convinced the family to set an example and not send the bridegroom empty-handed, even though the family of the bride was devastated by the death of their daughter.
