Lesbian Couple in Southern India Commit Suicide

The police recovered the charred bodies of the women, who died hugging each other, from the residence of one of the women in the northern part of the city on Saturday.

Police identified the couple as Christy Jayanthi Malar (38) and Rukmani (40).

Malar and Rukmani studied in the same class at a Tondiarpet school. Later they got married and were living in adjoining areas. But they continued to meet each other, and the friendship apparently intensified.

Rukmani meantime got separated from her first husband and her relatives got her married to another man four years ago and they moved to Washermanpet, some five km away. This, the relatives thought, would help in keeping the two women friends away.

But that was not to be. They continued to meet, often at Malar's house. On Friday morning, Rukmani went to Malar's house after their husbands had left for work. Not finding Rukmani for a long time, her relatives started searching for her and finally found her in Malar's house.

A fierce row erupted, and relatives of both the women expressed their strong disapproval of the �physical relationship� between them.

But the two chose to stay together for the night, and the next morning they were found dead, in each other�s arms.
