A 23-year-old woman backed out of her marriage after the groom was found in a drunken state at their wedding ceremony in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
The bride, a resident of Singhual village, came to know that the groom arrived at the ceremony drunk, reported the Press Trust of India. She reacted by calling off the marriage.
According to the police, the groom arrived at the wedding in a drunken state and was unable to stand by himself, which prompted the bride to call off the wedding. She remained adamant despite efforts from relatives of the groom to make her change her mind.
“Seeing the groom who arrived at the place in an inebriated state, Safety (the bride), a resident of Sighaul village, called off her wedding with him,” said SP Surendra Tiwari.
He also added that the parties of the groom and the bride resolved the issue themselves and police were not called nor was an FIR registered.
In a similar incident a few weeks back, a Kerala-girl had called off her marriage and publicized it on Facebook after she came to know that the groom’s family asked for dowry.
