In a heart-wrenching incident highlighting the distress faced by farmers seeking marriage, a 36-year-old farmer named Manjunath Naganoor from Haveri district in Karnataka took his own life. The tragic suicide occurred as a result of his deep disappointment and frustration after facing continuous rejection from potential brides for the past eight years. Manjunath consumed poison and tragically passed away while undergoing treatment at Hubli medical college.
The plight of Manjunath and many other farmers in Karnataka struggling to find suitable life partners has become an alarming trend in the region. The relentless cycle of rejections took a toll on Manjunath’s mental well-being, ultimately leading him to take the extreme step of ending his own life. While this reason may seem trivial to some, it sheds light on the underlying societal challenges faced by farmers in rural areas.
Finding a suitable match for marriage has become an uphill battle for farmers in Karnataka, and the issue has gained significant attention, even becoming a topic of discussion during the recent assembly election. The socio-economic factors, coupled with the challenges faced by farmers in sustaining their livelihoods, contribute to the difficulties they encounter in their pursuit of a life partner.
