Leaving many netizens shocked and confused, the user elaborated and shed some light on the Dakshina Kannada tradition.

“It’s a serious tradition here. For those who died in child birth, they are usually married off to another child who is deceased during the child birth. All the customs happen just like any marriage. Two families will go to each other’s house for the engagement, there will be marriage procession and finally tieing the knots,” Arun explained in a tweet. “If you are wondering its easy to fix this marriage, hear me out. Recently groom family rejected a bride because bride was few year elder to the groom! Anyway I find these customs beautiful,” he added.
