Mangalore, Feb 16:
A young man and woman from Udupi district got married under the supervision of Sri Rama Sena at Saravu Sri Mahaganapati temple, after the parents of both of them resented their decision and opposed the relationship.
 
21-year-old Shobith and Geetha of the same age, entered wedlock in a simple, traditional ceremony in the presence of Sri Rama Sena activists.  Shobith belongs to scheduled caste, while the girl is from Vishwakarma community. Shobith is a resident of Paniyur and Geetha, from Mudarangadi in Udupi District.
 
"We love each other since the last two and half years", confessed the couple. 

Shobith, a student from Udupi, is studying Bachelor of Computer Applications course, while Geetha works in a private firm.
 
"My parents are totally opposed to this marriage. When we approached my parents with the proposal, they registered a complaint against me in the police station. As a result,   I was sent to remand home a few years back, “Geetha said.

Geetha lives in a hostel in Manipal, as she has been expelled from her home. Parents of both the lovers are strongly against this marriage, and Shobith's parents not only dissuaded him from marrying the girl, but also warned him to shelve his plan.
 
"We planned to marry on February 14 with the help of Sri Rama Sena, as per their call, but when we contacted them, their leaders were not available. So we decided to marry today," said Shobith.
 
"We had two options before us, either marrying each other or committing suicide, but Sri Rama Sena members gave us life," he added.

"Sri Rama Sena members have assured us of finding out suitable residence and jobs," said Geetha.

Sri Rama Sena members, who were present there, said that it was not a  forcible marriage, and that the  couple  contacted them with a request to assist them to get married to each other.

    I know like this marriages they last long for one or two weeks. then the attraction will get lesser and the people get away, otherwise the people make them seperate. can sena stop this?. Do something good for the country. join millitary and kill those terrorists. then nation will salute you. can you people do it.

    As per two options, both are taken very good decision that getting marry in the age of 21. Suppose they committed suicide, blame will be on Minority people. Good work done by Sena. In the Future Sri Rama has to take care these young couple

    I don't understand when people blame bad works why don’t appreciate good works. In this matter SRS have done a great job. Coz nowadays love means only to spend time together not to stick together till their life end. So I appreciate SRS work

    Ram Sena has done the Act and called it as "Marriage". I like to know what sort and type of marriage is this in Hindu System? Anuloma or Viloma? Daiva, Bhrma, Gandharva? (Of course, it does not fall under Asura, Paishacha or Rakshasa type). Who made Kanya Dhan? Ram Sena? Are they any way related to the Bride? If not, they are not eligible for Kanya Dhan without which marriage remains incomplete as per the system followed in the Coastal Karnataka. God save young couple from legal complications, if any.

    I am a bit confused. Our Culture is to always respect our parents wishes.marriage against their wishes is wrong. lets wait and see how the couple will survive.most probably they will be ostracised by both their families and relatives.The intentions of SriRama Sene are good , but help the needy who have no money to get married. I hope sri rama sene replicates hindu and christian charitable institution. Why not start sri Rama Sene charitable mission.

    Whether one likes or not, the groups like Ram Sene, Bajarang Dal (supported by BJP) have achieved their following initial goals: 1. Good will of the some Hindu community. May get more support of Hindu communities in the future. 2. Slowed down the process of conversions of many Dalits across India (to tolerable level) 3. Warning shot to groups like SIMI who were involved in terror attacks across India

    Moral Policing to marriage business. Sounds good! Somehow these jobless guys will keep on finding some ways of keeping themselves busy. I feel pity for these guys who call themselves Rama Sena and do all kinds of unbearable things. I think only in India such things are tolerated. May God restore common sense and sanity in these people. God bless India. We urgently need Divine Intervention.

    Looks like childish marriage... the way couple's message looks like so stupid for our younger generation as well as Rama sene.isn'it? No one in this world commit suicide for such silly reason (matter of 1 or 2 year hidden love) unless it is it is boll wood movie...isn’t? First tell him to complete his studies, then marriage……that’s what his parents expect at this stage…. He has no right to comment to any one….

    This is the joke of the day and I still can't stop laughing! Here is a couple who had been disowned by their parents and wanted to get married and our Ram Sena jokers are taking cheap credit for it. Can you see a mangalasutra round the bride's neck? In the video, do you see a priest anywhere around? What sort of marriage is this? What tickles me the most is the jobless Ram Sena thugs have promised them jobs! Ha ha ha!!

    Congratulations-Shobith and Geetha.Keep Up the Good Work Dear Members of RAMA SENE or Bhima Sene? if some one requests then only do the good works not the bad. But keep away taking Law into your Hands. do not damagae Public property. If any thing Goes wrong in the Public report to the judicial and let Pramod Mutlaq be in the prison for Longer days. He has to set his Mind. If he comes oot now he will be wild and its a loss to the public.
