NEW DELHI, INDIA – SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 18 year old young man and a 19 year old young woman had decided to end their lives, because their families refused to allow their marriage. The young man belonging to the higher and noticeably whiter skin caste (hence because of his high social status, his identity was censored to protect his dignity). Right before ending their lives the girl send a video message to her family, saying besides the reason for their deaths, is that she wanted for her young man to strangle her to death. Since she was afraid that her hanging might be very slow and the resulting suffering and corpse aftereffects (pushed out tongue). After her young man had very quickly strangled her from behind, he then used the same cloth to make a noose and then hanged himself right over her dead body.
Looks like the girl was right after all to risk a hanging. Since very slow hanging death, with all pushed out and very thick saliva covered tongue, is exactly what her young man got in the end. There was no one to quickly strangle him to death, like he did for her.
