Marriages are made in heaven. This saying probably goes back to the time when human weddings were invented for the first time. For we as a race realized the importance of a special person in our life. And since there have been several ways of finding a match from social gatherings to matrimonies which has now took to the digital space.
And so a boy and a girl from Telangana found each other on Instagram, fell in love, and tied the knot ultimately. But what sets them apart from the modern day couples is that they have speech defect, and are mute. Their shortcomings did not stop them from finding love.
Atram Latha (Jyothi) from Raikal Mandal of Jagitial district in Telangana and Arun from Ongole in Prakasham district of Andhra Pradesh were both mute but they are completely capable of using the internet and have social media accounts. You see how the digital space is helping people connect despite their physical limitations. It also connected these two on Instagram like any other youngster. Despite being mute, they communicated through texts.
Little did they know that they will start to like each other and consider more than a friend. But it was meant to happen and soon, their love bloomed and they decided to get married.
This week their wedding took place in Jagitial and they were bonded forever.
The wedding was organized by a group of social workers in the area. The entire ceremony was performed by the group members as per traditions in a grand manner.
Of them, Mohamed Babujan, Riyaz and Kasarapu Ramesh claimed that they offered to help several people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We offered help to people in corona pandemic period and feel good and proud to help such couples. The couple is in love with each other and we supported them with essentials,” said the team members to media.
In another similar incident in Kolkata, a deaf and mute couple married about two years ago. The wedding function had only deaf-mute guests, and sign language expert Rajani Banerjee graced the occasion who interpreted the wedding mantras for the couple and their guests.
We wish the couple a happy and prosperous life.
