Bride refuses to marry at last minute in Hassan, cites love for another man
Hassan: A wedding ceremony in Hassan took an unexpected turn on Friday when the bride called off the marriage moments before the final ritual, stating that she was in love with another man and had been forced into the alliance by her parents.
The incident occurred at a choultry in the city where all wedding rituals were underway and the groom was about to tie the mangalsutra. However, in a sudden move, the bride stopped the ceremony and openly declared that she did not wish to marry the groom. She revealed that she was in a relationship with someone else and was unwilling to proceed with the marriage.
Sources said that the bride had received a phone call from her boyfriend just before the ritual began. The conversation reportedly strengthened her decision to walk away from the marriage.
The unexpected announcement led to tension between the two families, but the situation was brought under control after police officials arrived at the spot. Both families were taken to the local police station where a discussion was held. The police managed to mediate between the parties and both families agreed to cancel the wedding. They also decided to equally share the wedding expenses.
The groom, who is said to be a government school teacher, had reportedly spent several lakhs of rupees on the wedding arrangements.
Following the incident, the bride left the choultry with her boyfriend.
