Four-day after the fast-unto-death strike by beloved Poppy at the house of her lover Saiful, the marriage of the two was held at Naldanga of Natore on Monday. 

Their marriage was held around 5-15 PM at the house of Saiful at Thakur Laxmikole Madanhat Pabnapara village under Piprul Union of Naldanga upazila.

The marriage ceremony was attended, among others, by Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Naldanga Police station Nazrul Islam, Chairman of Piprul union Kalim Uddin and the local elites. Taka 600,001 was fixed as the Den Mohar in the marriage. 

Saiful Islam is the son of Siddique Mollah of the same village and Poppy is the daughter of late Abdus Sobhan of Sonar More area of the same upazila.

Earlier on January-7 Thursday Poppy went to the house of her lover Saiful and started fasting there demanding to marry her.

Officer-in-charge of Naldanga police station Nazrul Islam informed, Saiful and Poppy were engaged in love-affairs for a long time. During the last August, they went to Gazipur and started to live as a husband and wife. But, recently, Saiful returned home when Poppy demanded to marry her. 

But, without marrying her, Saiful started to while away time on various pleas. At last, finding no way, Poppy went to the house of Saiful and started a fast-unto-death there. The incident got wide coverage in various news media and in presence of the local administration officials and the elites their marriage contract was signed.
