Bride Dumps Groom Over Failed Maths Test

A bride in India walked away from her wedding minutes before she was due to marry because the groom could not add up.

Relatives of the couple had gathered together at the wedding venue and preparations had begun in Kanpur Dehat, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

But the bride was suspicious of groom Ram Baran's apparent qualifications and her cousin tested him out with the question: What is 15 plus six?

He replied: "17". The answer, in case you're having a tough day, is 21.

That, as far as the bride was concerned, was that.

She left the scene just when as the wedding was about to be solemnised, saying she could not marry an uneducated person.

Her father Mohar Singh said: "Any class one student must be able to solve the simple problem asked by us.

"The family of the groom had kept us in the dark about the youth's qualifications.

"It was a very embarrassing situation for all of us as we had come with all preparations and it was a matter of social prestige as well.

"We have been cheated."

The groom's family tried to persuade her into going ahead with the ceremony but she would not agree.

Eventually, local police were brought in to mediate and presents and jewellery that had been exchanged before the wedding were all returned.

This is not the first bride in India who has called off a wedding because she expected more of her man.

Anita Narian, 23, from Betul in Madhya Pradesh, rejected her husband's home because there was no toilet.

She told him she could only live with him when he built a lavatory, which he subsequently did.

The Indian government later gave her £7,500 for making a stand.

The government in 2012 introduced a No Toilet, No Bride campaign, telling men's families to build toilets before marrying off their sons.

Almost half the population have to go to the loo in the open because they have no toilet facilities and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has even spoken out about the issue as part of his Clean India campaign.

Women who do not have private toilet facilities face a security risk while venturing out in the early morning or late at night, with reports of women being assaulted or raped while out searching for somewhere to go to the lavatory.

The bride should be evaluated for failed brain.

That's cool.
The babe can't pay groom price and end up with nonsense groom

On a serious not though, the toilet ish is very very important. Why will a man want to marry a lady into his home with no privacy for toilet or bathroom facilities?

Wih all those rampant rape cases?
I don't blame this ones jare.

I know this can only happen in India or China

That is dumb of the groom too. If he can't pass such a cheap test, how is he going to train his children. And the bride has paid the GROOMPRICE ooo

Interesting

"Just before the marriage ceremony Lovely came to know that the groom Ram Baran is illiterate and she refused to marry... Even a first grader can answer this [the maths test]," the bride's father is reported to have said according to the BBC.

Last month, in a similar incident, an angry bride had married a guest at her wedding after the original groom suffered an epileptic fit during the nuptials.
