The sister of a bride who collapsed and died at her own wedding has reportedly married the groom instead.
The bride, named Surabhi, suffered a suspected cardiac arrest in the middle of the wedding ceremony in India's Uttar Pradesh state, local outlet News18 reported.
A doctor rushed to her aid however she was confirmed dead at the scene.
Despite grieving the loss of their daughter, Surabhi's family sat down with the family of the groom, Manoj Kumar, and decided to continue with festivities.

It was eventually decided one of Surabhi's sisters, Nisha, would instead marry Mr Kumar.

Fair play to them.
The second sisters share of her inheritance will now be higher than the first sisters would have been!
And I'd have insisted on an increase in the Dowry too.

With that logic I wonder if the bride needs to make sure she cooks all her own meals?.

Perhaps there is a 3rd sister waiting in line.
Think I'd wait until after the wedding night though, no point in wasting.....................

Sounds like an average episode of “the succession”?

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

I know I've not been very PC with this topic up to now, but I do believe it's quite normal for a sibling to substitute in to an arranged marriage if either of the original pair can't complete the pairing.
And I've worked around the world enough to know that cultural differences are exactly that, and we shouldn't be judging them
