Balasore: For a change, here’s a love story of the virtual world that has not gone sour. At least so we think. Read on to find out more details of the romance….
The story has been reported from Odisha’s Soro area in Balasore district.
Boy meets girl on Facebook, they chat often and the chatting soon turns into love. They exchange numbers and emerge from the virtual world to the real world and start meeting each other. The boy, Baikuntha Behera of Kubabupatna village and the girl, Surendra Behera’s daughter of Gulunia village of Manipur panchayat under Soro Police limits.
Everything was fine but then there came a twist.
The couple was discovered on Thursday when Baikuntha came to meet his lady love when she was alone at home.
Spotting Baikuntha sneaking into Surendra Behera’s house, villagers caught the couple and informed the girl’s mother.
However, instead of torturing the young couple, they along with the couple’s parents married them off as per the Vedic rituals on late Thursday night.
So was it a Happy Ending after all or just another method of moral policing?
