An angry Indian bride reportedly beat up her groom and called off their wedding after he turned up drunk to the ceremony and passed out on International Women’s Day.
Ranjeet Kumar Kamat blackened her would-be husband’s face with soot and threw a garland of shoes around his neck when he began calling out for beer during the wedding rituals, Gulf News India reports.
At the wedding venue, the bride and groom exchanged garlands. Once the ritual was over, the groom and his cousin went to a road nearby and drank alcohol. Both lost consciousness soon after.
Witnesses said finally when the groom was brought to the wedding to complete the wedding rituals, he kept calling for beer. Upon being refused, he began creating a ruckus and misbehaving with guests, much to the embarrassment of the bride’s family.
The bride, who had hereto been sitting calmly, lost her temper and in a fit of rage refused to marry the drunk groom.The groom’s cousin was also treated in same way. The groom and his relatives creating a ruckus were also locked in a room.
Reports said the groom’s family was allowed to go home only after they agreed to return the dowry they had taken.
