Woman gets widowed daughter-in-law married again

Mangaluru: In a heart-warming incident reported from Bellare in Sullia taluk, Kunhakka, a mother- in law took the lead and got her widowed daughter-in-law married again.
Kunhakka lost her son, Madhav, in an accident three years ago. At the time of the incident, her daughter-in-law Susheela was pregnant.
Kunhakka was keen that her daughter-in-law get married again. But a grieving Susheela had been postponing it. However, recently after meeting Jayaprakash G from Kanyana in Bantwal, she agreed to get married again.
Speaking to TOI he said, “I met Susheela a month ago. Her son is 3.5 years old and I decided to take up their responsibility. Susheela had rejected several proposals,” he said.
The wedding was held at Kota Subrahmanya Swamy temple about seven kilometres from Bellare on Monday. “She was keen on a simple wedding. I made all the necessary arrangements and was surprised when the temple priests and the administration appreciated my move to marry Susheela. The marriage was held in the presence of close family and friends. I am really happy that I now have to look after two mothers-- my mom and Kunjakka,” said Jayaprakash.
