In an unusual incident, twin sisters married the same man in the western Indian state&nbsp;of Maharashtra. The incident came to light when the video of the wedding went viral on social media.&nbsp;

The wedding ceremony was held in Maharashtra's Solapur district on December 2, 2022. The twin sisters Rinky and Pinky who are IT professionals, from India’s financial capital city Mumbai agreed to marry Atul (the groom).&nbsp;

In fact, both their families agreed to the wedding and had no objection. The groom is into the travel agency business. Solapur district is approximately 400 km from Mumbai.&nbsp;

Solapur Police has now registered a non-cognisable (NC) offence under section 494 of the Indian penal Code (IPC). The video that has gone viral on social media shows the names of the bride and the groom written at the place where the event was held.&nbsp;

In the clipping from the Jaimala (Garland) ceremony, people can be seen cheering for the twin sisters who tried to garland the groom. The twin sisters attempted to garland Atul at the same time and failed in their first attempt. Then they put the jaimala on him one by one.&nbsp;

When it comes to protecting family, an individual can go to any length, even if it punching a crocodile in the face.

Georgia and Melissa, 28-year-old twins, were swimming in a lagoon near Puerto Escondido in Mexico when they were attacked by a crocodile.

As the sisters were busy spotting turtles, Melissa suddenly disappeared under the water and Georgia started looking for her sister.

Mellisa was spotted under the water by her sister but was unconscious. "Georgia found her unresponsive and started to drag her back to the safety of a boat,” the twin’s 33-year-old sister Hana from Alton in Hampshire told BBC. "She dragged her back as the crocodile kept coming back for more - so she just started hitting it."

Georgia had heard that with some animals, one has to start hitting them to scare them away, especially when they are hunting.

The crocodile came back thrice to attack Mellisa and tossed her around "like a rag doll". However, Georgia did not give up and kept punching the crocodile with all her might.

They were rushed to a nearby hospital in Mexico where Mellisa is in an induced coma as she had water in her lungs, and doctors are worried she might have punctured a lung too.

"Both Georgia and Melissa are on heavy doses of intravenous antibiotics, so we're really hoping that if any infection does develop that they'll be able to catch it really quickly," Hana said.

Their family has started a crowdfunding campaign to collect funds to pay for the treatment the sisters are receiving in Mexico, and their dad is in contact with the British Embassy in Mexico to try and get support for his daughters’ treatment.

The two sisters had been travelling while volunteering and working in animal sanctuaries.
