Twenty young couples from poor families tied the knot at a social wedding ceremony held at Vadakkenchery, near here, on Saturday.
The couples were overwhelmed with joy as they entered into nuptials as part of the 25th edition of the social wedding held under the banner of the Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, the corporate social responsibility wing of Sobha Ltd headed by P.N.C. Menon.
As many as 667 women from poor families have so far got married in the social wedding scheme initiated by Sobha in 2003. The women were selected from poor families in Vadakkenchery, Kizhakkenchery and Kannambra panchayats.
