A bride in India died at her wedding but the groom married her younger sister instead, reports claim.

The bride who has been identified as Surabhi, died of a heart attack during her wedding ceremony so the families laid her body in the room next door as her husband-to-be worked on his backup plan.

Groom, Manjesh Kumar was in the middle of exchanging vows with his fiance when she died in front of him.

Doctors rushed to her side but despite their best efforts, she was pronounced dead by way of cardiac arrest moments later, local media reports.

However, Surabhi’s uncle Ajab Singh told news agency IANS that the families made the decision to have Kumar wed her younger sister instead, which he claims was a "tough call" for them.

He said: "One daughter lay dead in one room and the wedding of another daughter was being solemnised in the other room. We have never witnessed such mixed emotions.

"The grief over her death and the happiness of the wedding have yet to sink in."

Surabhi’s brother Saurabh added that they ‘did not know what to do in the situation at first.

He said: "Both the families sat together and someone suggested that my younger sister Nisha should be married to the groom. The families discussed the matter and both agreed."

The story has since gone viral on social media, with an image of Surabhi and Nisha on the day of the wedding emerging.

News of the wedding has been viewed more than 260 million times on Weibo.

This is why I warn people, especially girls to stay away from Zeeworld.
It always make you confused

Pathetic, No one can tell the reason why she had a cardiac arrest at maybe the most important moment of her life. It's a mystery world.

honestly if this is not a movie then I think everybody that attended that marriage ceremony including the parents of the bride and groom should be arrested and moved to the nearest psychiatric hospital asap to reduce the nomber of mad people in India, how on earth will a sane person stand and watch such thing happen. DISGUSTING, TUFIAKWA

2 in 1.

Especially if you don sample the elder sister before marriage.

It also happens in Hausa land. In some cases, if your wife dies, they can offer a sister - possibly because they believe she would take care of the deceased's kids.

I frankly don't mind... if she's prettier sha

All hole na hole my brother

This photo and caption is sick and disgusting bro. Women deserve more respect than this. They're human beings and not holes. Boldly sharing something like this in a public space brings your home training into question. I'm sorry but I had to be blunt.

Well...........i somewhere read that in india they have this wierd practice where by the wife to be's family pay the groom price of the husband to be.......

Just maybe........they were trying not to suffer double loss(the dead bride and the money paid).......

This makes a lot of sense. You're very smart

lol...did he mention any woman's name...your mind is playing tricks on you...I think it's u who needs mind cleansing....all hole na hole jare...

It's possible.

Sounds like something shady went down.

Except the wife was sick/ had health related issues, young people don't just have and die of heart attack.

Even if they did not want to waste the groom price like a poster opined, they should have rescheduled the wedding to another day.

This is where we need all those Nollywood ghosts that look left and right before crossing.
