Over time, he formed a close bond with his married mum-in-law Geeta Devi, 55.
His father-in-law, Dileshwar Darve, 55, learned of the affair and reported it to the community leaders in the village of Heer Moti, Bihar, India.
After the couple’s unlikely fling was revealed, Sikandar confessed his love for Geeta before the village council.
There was some deliberation and then Dileshwar and the rest of the community consented to the couple’s union.
They tied the knot last week in a traditional ceremony.
