Marriage boat wrecks in Bangladesh: at least nine dead, including bride

A true tragedy is the one that was experienced a few days ago in Bangladesh, when a ship wrecked with about 80 guests to a marriage.

Taslima Begum, a 22-year-old girl, and her husband Farid decided to celebrate their marriage on the high seas, but the boat in which they were going across the Meghna River, in the Noakhali district, capsized for reasons that are the subject of investigation.

According to information provided by the Daily Bangladesh, Amid the screams and despair, the authorities recognized the red sari that the bride had worn for her wedding, but when they tried to rescue her it was too late: she had drowned.

The same fate suffered his grandmother Nur Jahan and several children.

On Friday the bodies of a 7-year-old boy and another under 1 were found.

Survivors of the tragedy, which occurred last Tuesday, managed to save themselves because they swam towards the shore and others because they were rescued by the coast guard.
