Relationship/Affairs
During her college years, Mathivathani met Prabhakaran, where she and a few of her companions actively participated in anti-government demonstrations. They were brought to Madurai, where she met Velupillai Prabhakaran, the president of the LTTE, who then sent the adult individuals to the Balasinghams’ Thiruvanmiyur home. Prabhakaran visited Adele’s Thiruvanmiyur home on business while residing at the motel owned by members of the Madras Legislative Assembly. His trips to Thiruvanmyur to join Mathivathani increased after the Holi festival that year, and the two of them began dating. Thiruvanmiyur was a liberal Brahmin district of Chennai, so issues with their relationship and the LTTE’s code that forbade marriage developed. A settlement was gradually reached, and a new standard law allowing the few to get married was formulated that gave those who had worked for the organization for five years the freedom to marriage.
Death
The Sri Lankan Army is said to have killed Mathivathani Erambu, but later the military denied doing so and claimed they had no knowledge of her movements. The bodies of Mathivathi and her child, Duvaraga, were discovered by the Sri Lankan Army on May 20, 2009.
