Indira Gandhi marries politician and journalist Feroze Gandhi at Anand Bhavan in 1942.
Feroze proposed to Indira in 1933, but she and her mother declined, claiming that she was too young, barely 16 at the time. He became close to the Nehru family, particularly Indira's mother Kamala Nehru, accompanying her to the TB sanatorium at Bhowali in 1934, assisting in the organisation of her trip to Europe when her condition worsened in April 1935, and visiting her at the sanitariums in Badenweiler and, finally, Lausanne, where she died on 28 February 1936. Indira and Feroze got closer in the years that followed while in England. They married according to Hindu rites in March 1942.
