‘Want Husband With Government Job’: Bride Calls Off Wedding After Finding Groom’s Private Job in Uttar Pradesh’s Farrukhabad
The groom’s salary of INR 1,20,000 per month was shown to the bride's family, but it did little to sway her stance.
Lucknow, November 25: In an unexpected turn of events, a bride in Uttar Pradesh's Farrukhabad refused to proceed with her wedding after the jaimala (garland exchange) ceremony upon discovering that her groom did not hold the government job she had been led to believe he had. The bride was not convinced even when the groom showed a salary slip showing his monthly income of INR 1,20,000.
According to a report by Jagran, the wedding had been arranged by the bride’s family with a groom from Chhattisgarh's Balrampur. The intermediary, who had facilitated the match, assured the bride's family that the groom was a government engineer, owned six plots of land, and had substantial agricultural holdings, including 20 bighas of land.
