Family. They just want what’s best for you (that’s code for they don’t give a shit about you unless you obey them).

MEERUT: Chafed by her family’s opposition to her same sex marriage, an 18-year-old girl today attempted suicide by consuming insecticide and was admitted at a nursing home in Kankerkhera here.

The two, who have grown up in the same locality and known each other for several years, ‘solemnised’ the marriage at a Shiva temple in Kankerkhera after which the girl brought her 20-year-old ‘bride’ with ‘Sindoor’ (Vermillion) on her head to live in her Jawaharpuri house on Tuesday evening.

The family, however, disapproved of the Union and sent the bride back to her house in Badam Mandi.

The ‘groom’ was then locked inside a room where she allegedly consumed some insecticide.

She was rushed to a private nursing home where her stomach was flushed out.

Doctors attending on her said she was out of danger but kept under observation.

The girl told reporters at the nursing home that the two had made a choice and would continue to live together. She said they had been “living as husband and wife” for the last five years.
