Andhra parents die by suicide after son decides to marry long-time transgender partner
Hindustan TimesMiddle-aged parents in Andhra Pradesh's Nandyal district allegedly died by suicide after their 24-year-old son told them about his decision to marry his transgender person. The parents had also been quarrelling with their son over his association with the local transgender community, Nandyal sub-divisional officer P Srinivas Reddy said 45-year-old Subba Rayudu and his 38-year-old wife Saraswati took the extreme step after conflicts over their son Sunil Kumar's three-year-long association with the local transgender community. Further investigations have also revealed that Kumar spent ₹1.5 lakh money on the transgenders, nudging them to demand the amount back from his parents and causing a nuisance over the same. A similar case had surfaced in Rajasthan last year, where a couple allegedly died by suicide because their daughter married her boyfriend outside their caste.
