| Chandu and his two wives Haseena and Sundari |
A man called Chandu Maurya in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar married two women at the same time, in the same mandap. The marriage which took place on January 5, was attended by about 600 people and has since, become talk of the town.
The romantic affair started three years ago, when Chandu Maurya, a farmer and labourer of a remote village of Bastar district of Indian State Madhya Pradesh fell in love with 21-year-old tribal girl Sundari Kashyap. Their romance blossomed over phone calls and the couple decided to get married. Meanwhile a year later, Chandu fell in love again with Haseena , whom he met at a relative’s marriage.
Haseena and Sundari both the brides have passed their 12th standard examinations.
However, Chandu Maurya decided to marry the two girls after the villagers started questioning him over the "live-in relationship". "Fed-up with the questions, I decided to marry both of them because they both loved me. I can’t betray them. They agreed they both will live with me forever,"
This kind of marriage is a crime in the Hindu Marriage Act. However, no case has been registered against it.
