RAIPUR: In a bizarre incident, a man married two women at a time after he fell in love with both of them. 

Chandu Maurya had a love affair with two girls at a time. Surprisingly, the girls were also aware of it and decided that he should marry both of them. 

Hence, after consent of the three families, the marriage was fixed. In one 'mandap, the groom sat with the two brides--one on either side and the rituals were performed. 

This marriage was held at Tikara Lohnga in Bastar, the southern part of Chhattisgarh. Local residents also attended the marriage and some even called it 'historic', according to reports. After the wedding, the trio would stay together, do farming and stay happy, the reports add.
