Ramanagara, Apr 23: After a man's proposal to accept an inter-caste widow as his wife was resisted by his family members, the lovers married in the presence of the police at Sathanur police station in Kanakapura taluk of the district.

The couple who became life partners in this way are Pavan and Shruthi. Pavan is from Tavaraghatta village in Kanakapura while Shruthi is from Moolegunde in Kanakapura.

Shruthi had loved and married another person named Pavan three years back. But death snatched away her life partner within days of their marriage. Shruthi thereafter had remained alone since the last three years.

Pavan came forward to marry Shruthi but Pavan's parents were against this alliance. Therefore, Pavan had sought help from the police. Sathanur police who questioned both of them in detail, pooled information about them. After the police investigation found that the two were eligible for marriage, they came forward to host the marriage. The couple therefore married each other in the presence of the police personnel.

The two made it a point to wear masks and maintain social distance when marrying.
