UP: Groom & bride’s father slap each other, wedding called off

Irked by his son's behaviour, the father of the groom asked him not to go in to the bride's room but the groom would not listen.

Chitrakoot: In a bizarre incident, a bride refused to marry the groom simply because he kept entering her room repeatedly even before their wedding rituals could get over.

According to reports, the wedding procession arrived at the woman’s house in Chitrakoot and the groom was apparently so enamoured by the bride that after the exchange of garlands, he kept going to her room even before other rituals could be held.
