Breaking the restrictions of the coronavirus lockdown, a 23-year-old man pedaled about 100 km to reach his bride's home all alone to keep up his marriage date in Uttar Pradesh. No family member was there.

The 23-year-old man, identified as Kalku Prajapati of Pauthiya village in Hamirpur district was waiting till the last minute for permission from the administration for his marriage scheduled on April 25, 2020.

But when he failed to get proper response from the concerned Government officials on time, he decided to go all alone on his bicycle to his bride Rinki's place at Puniya village in neighboring Mahoba district, 230 km south of Lucknow.

“We were not getting permission from the local police for the marriage. I was left with no option but to go on bicycle, all alone, to reach there," Prajapati, who studied till Class X and a farmer by profession, said.

"Those people (in-laws) had also got wedding cards printed and were ready for the wedding on the decided date”, Prajapati said.

The marriage was fixed four-five months ago. The bride's family had phoned for the ceremony and Prajapati went for it, according to his father.
