Woman commits suicide after love marriage fails

Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, Mar 4 (UNI) A woman committed suicide here last night, ten days after her love marriage ended in dismal failure.

Police said Kamatchi(22), hailing from Thirumukkadu near Acharapakam in Kancheepuram district and working as a warden in a private company at Chennai, fell in love with Jayaraman(25), a coolie residing in Chennai and married him in Tirupathi. When Jayaraman's parents, came to know about their marriage, they took their only son with them.

On enquiry by the police, following a complaint lodged by the girl's family, the boy's family assured them that they would perform the marriage of the couple as per the procedure within ten days. It was, however, being alleged that Jayaram's parents got their son married to another girl.

The demoralised Kamatchi consumed poison and was rushed to the Tambaram Government Hospital but the treatment went in vain and she succumbed to death.

A case had been registered and investigation was underway, police added.
