The group had just got off a boat on the bank of the river Padma near Shibganj on Wednesday 4th at noon, to take shelter at the bride’s house when lightning struck, the BBC reported.

The bride was not with the others when the lightening struck, this saving her from the tragedy.

The lightning struck Chapainawabganj, the Western district of Bangladesh, about 150 miles north-west of Dhaka.

Lightning kills more than 200 people in Bangladesh, the majority being farmers in their fields, each year.
