Interfaith Couple Repeats Wedding Rites at Hyderabad Police Station After Counselling

A complaint from the bride’s mother triggered mediation that ended in an on-site Hindu ceremony.

Overview

  • Assistant Commissioner of Police Y. Harish Kumar summoned the pair and counselled both families at the Kachiguda station.
  • The groom tied a mangalsutra and the couple exchanged garlands in the presence of officials, with police calling the dispute resolved.
  • The couple had earlier eloped and married in a church about four months ago and produced their marriage certificate during counselling.
  • Police said the bride’s family had converted to Christianity during the pandemic, a claim the mother disputed by asserting she follows the Hindu faith.
  • PTI reported that a right-wing outfit initially objected to the union but did not appear at the station later.
