Dharwad, Jun 29: Many believe that marriages are made in heaven and the individuals involved are decided in advance. In a rare incident which happened here, two people who are mute fell in love and became life partners.

This was the first marriage to have been held in Dharwad after the lockdown norms were eased. Kumar Talwar from Sattur village in Dharwad district, and Shweta Killedar from Saraswatpur, Dharwad, are the two, who exchanged the vows in a simple ceremony.

This marriage did not have the usual grandeur, show, or rush of people. As per tradition, customary Taali was tied and blessed rice was sprinkled on their hands. Both Kumar and Shweta are deaf-mute and many witnessed this unique marriage.

Kumar works for a factory while Shweta is good at embroidery. The couple received hearty blessings from their respective families, friends, and wellwishers. The two exchanged information and ideas through sign language before they agreed to marry each other.
