ATHENS, October 30 (RIA Novosti) - A couple in Greece attempted to kill themselves by drinking fertilizer after being refused permission to marry, local media said Tuesday.
The body of a 25-year-old man was discovered lying on a road in Ierapetra, located on the south coast of Crete.
His unconscious 17-year-old girlfriend was lying next to him. She was taken to hospital and is currently in a critical condition.
Local residents said the tragedy happened after the girl's parents refused to let the couple marry because the boyfriend was a relative.
