Hours after the wedding and just before the 'bidaai' ceremony, the brother and mother of the 24-year-old groom tested positive for Corona and the bride and her family had to be home quarantined

The 16 members from groom's side, who were in contact with his brother and mother, have also been quarantined in their respective homes." The groom' brother lives in Delhi along with his mother and works as an auto-rickshaw driver while their father works as a daily-wager in Shimla in Himachal Pradesh.

The bride's father, Cheda Lal Nishad, said, "As a precaution, we have refused to send the girl to her in-laws house, and once the situation becomes normal, we will definitely send her to her in-laws home
