The bride’s reason for refusal was the groom’s baldness. the groom fainted before going into the mandap and his wig accidentally came off as he fell to the ground. Everyone saw that he was bald, a fact he had hidden from the bride’s family.
Learning of the matter, the bride refused to go ahead with the wedding even though her family tried to convince her. Local police had to get involved but she stood her ground. A panchayat meeting was called to deliberate on the matter, where the bride’s family claimed that Rs 5.66 lakh had been spent by them on wedding arrangements. This money was then paid back to them by the groom’s family.
The groom and the ‘baraatis’ returned to Kanpur with no wedding having been held. “If they would have told us about the groom’s baldness, we could have mentally prepared the bride and she would not have been shocked. You cannot expect a marriage to start on falsehood," the bride’s uncle was quoted as saying.
