An interesting turn of events occurred during a wedding in a village in the Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. According to the report, a 22-year-old woman from the district’s Tikri village called off her wedding after the groom and his friends turned up drunk at the venue, reports India Today.
The wedding was scheduled to take place in Tikri on Saturday night but as soon as the bride saw the groom, his friends, and many of the guests, in an inebriated state, she refused to marry him.
She took her decision after the drunk groom tried to force her to dance with him before the ceremonies began. Initially, the woman and her family members ignored his behaviour. However, the woman refused to dance which apparently pissed the groom and he created a ruckus.
The bride's family supported her decision and held the groom and his family captive asking them to return the gifts they were given when the wedding was fixed. The groom's family approached the police but the bride refused to change her mind.
Station House Officer (Mandhata) Shrawan Kumar Singh told reporters: "The matter was resolved only after the family members of the groom assured to return the gift items and cash which they had taken while fixing the marriage.
The bride's family members said the groom and his friends continued to be sarcastic with the bride and her family under the influence of alcohol and we had no choice but to call off the wedding.
