Uttar Pradesh, June 7: A 22-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj called off her wedding after the groom and his friends turned up drunk at the venue.
As the woman called off the marriage ceremony, her family held the groom and the “baraatis” hostage, asking them to return the gifts they were given when the wedding was fixed.
The groom’s family also called the cops, requesting them to mediate, as the woman refused to budge.
The incident happened at Tikri village of Pratapgarh city in Prayagraj during the wedding ceremony. A farmer in Tikri village had arranged his daughter’s wedding with one Ravindra Patel.
On the wedding day, the groom and some of his friends arrived at the venue in a drunken state.
The woman and her family kept ignoring the groom and his friends’ overtures. The situation took a turn when the groom forced the bride to dance before the “jaimala” ceremony.
