An advertisement for this has also been published in the newspaper. The interesting thing is that it is mandatory for the groom to also be a ghost. Actually, this case is from Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, where a marriage advertisement has been published in the newspaper. This marriage advertisement published in the newspaper has become a topic of discussion because it has been published for a suitable groom for a girl who died three decades ago.
According to news agency PTI, this strange advertisement has been given by a family from Puttur located in Dakshina Kannada district, who believe that due to their late daughter not getting married, a mountain of troubles is falling on the family. According to the family, the newborn girl died about thirty years ago and since then they (the family) are facing unexpected problems.
Why is the family doing this?
When the troubled family talked to the elders of the village, they were told that it could be that the wandering soul of their late daughter was the reason for this. Therefore, the family has decided to get their daughter married for the peace of her soul and is looking for a groom for her. The family has given an advertisement in the newspaper to find a groom for the girl who died 30 years ago, which has become a topic of discussion.
What is there in the newspaper advertisement?
The advertisement in the newspaper said, ‘A groom who died 30 years ago is being searched for a bride who died 30 years ago. Please contact the relevant number for Preta Muduva (marriage of ghosts). The parents of the deceased are sad that despite all their efforts, the search for a groom of the same age and caste and who had died a long time ago has not been completed. The tradition of unconventional marriage of the deceased is prevalent in the Tulunadu region. This region includes parts of Karnataka and Kasaragod district of Kerala, where the local dialect Tulu is spoken.
Marriages of the dead take place in this area
In this region, weddings of the dead have emotional significance. According to experts of Tuluva folk culture, the departed soul remains connected with the family and they share happiness and sorrow. At present, this family has not been able to find a groom for the deceased daughter and they are continuously searching for him. The family has also given their contact number in the newspaper advertisement on which they can be contacted.
