A prisoner in Wuyi of Zhejiang Province recently became the first groom of the province to be married behind bars.

Zhu was thrown in a prison after being allegedly involved in a robbery in June, shortly before his wedding ceremony. In a few months Zhu's girlfriend, who had lived with Zhu for a long time, is going to give birth to a baby.

Considering the baby would not be granted certain documents, Zhu sent a marriage application to the detention house, which fortunately won approval.

Officials from local public and civil departments recently visited the prison, witnessing the marriage.
