The man married his minor sister-in-law two days ago. They were detained by the police on Thursday afternoon as the legal age for women to get married in India is 18.

Angry villagers vandalised a police station and set it on fire in Tarabari village of Bihar's Araria district after a man and his minor 'wife' allegedly died by suicide in the police custody. 

The man married his 14-year-old sister-in-law two days ago after his wife's death. They were detained by the police on Thursday afternoon as the legal age for women to get married in India is 18.

The locals said the man and his wife were detained by the police soon after their marriage, alleging that they died in custody after being beaten up by cops.
