In a tragic incident in the village of Narsinghpur, Gujarat's Mahisagar district, a father killed his son during an argument about marriage, leading to widespread shock and mourning in the area. On the night of February 16, 2026, a dispute erupted at Rameshbhai's home when his son, Prakash, questioned his father about why he had not arranged for his marriage. The conversation escalated into a heated exchange.

Reports indicate that during the altercation, Rameshbhai lost his temper and struck Prakash on the head with a nearby stick. The severity of the blow caused Prakash to collapse, prompting family members to rush him to the local government hospital in Santrampur. However, due to his critical condition, he was quickly referred to a civil hospital in Godhra. Despite medical efforts, Prakash's health did not improve, leading to his transfer to SSG Hospital in Vadodara, where he remained in a life-threatening condition for eight days.

This tragic event highlights the intense familial pressures and cultural expectations surrounding marriage in Indian society. The incident has left the community in mourning and has raised significant concerns regarding domestic violence and the mental health challenges faced by families dealing with such intense pressures, particularly when it comes to marriage and relationships.
