What is more, the villagers even attended the wedding and blessed the newlyweds.
The report further says that the village is dominated by tribal people who have unusual and interesting rituals. While these rituals seem odd to mainstream society, they are commonly accepted among tribal society and that is why no one opposed the marriage.
