MK family with the newlyweds at Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple
MANGALURU: Hit hard by pandemic-induced financial crisis, the family of a 20-year-old bride was about to call off the wedding slated for July 11. Just then, a Muslim business house in Ullal known to the bride’s family stepped forward and offered them financial and logistical support to conduct the wedding.
The MK family, headed by MK Razak, made all the arrangements from buying bridal jewellery to hosting mehndi event to ensure smooth conduct of the wedding of Kavana with Ranjith at Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple in Talapady as per Hindu customs.
Kavana’s mother Geetha, whose husband died due to chickenpox five years ago, sold her small house and property in Shaktinagar four months ago due to the financial crisis. Later, Geetha, who does domestic work for a living, and her daughter shifted to a rented house in Manchila, near Ullal. Ranjith, 25, from Kanhangad in Kasargod district of Kerala, is a civil contractor.
