Marriages may be made in heaven, but on Earth, they can get messy. Case in point? Two Indian weddings that crashed and burned under the weight of scandal, betrayal, and blackmail.
In Sikar, Rajasthan, what was supposed to be a day of celebration turned into a nightmare when the groom¡¯s family pulled the plug on the wedding. The reason? A compromising video of the bride mysteriously landed in the inbox of the groom's father.
The bride, shaken by the ordeal, revealed an alarming truth to her grandfather. She claimed she had been raped and blackmailed by a man named Zeeshan, whom she met while studying in Surat. According to her, Zeeshan had stalked her relentlessly, taken unauthorized photos, and eventually filmed her in a vulnerable state without her consent.
When news of her wedding broke, Zeeshan allegedly threatened to release the explicit material unless she called it off. True to his word, he sent the video to her future in-laws, leading the groom¡¯s family to call off the match, citing ¡°questions about her character.¡±
The bride¡¯s family filed a zero-number FIR with the Churu police, transferring the case to Surat. The emotional toll on the bride and the family's shattered dreams highlight the dark underbelly of technology-enabled abuse.
Meanwhile, in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, a bride took a stand in a completely different scandal. Midway through her wedding rituals, she discovered the groom did not hold the government job he had claimed. Despite evidence of his ?1.2 lakh monthly salary, the bride refused to proceed with the marriage, leaving guests in stunned silence.
This modern-day revolt against deceit shows that Indian brides are not shying away from walking out when they spot red flags¡ªwhether it¡¯s blackmail or a fake r¨¦sum¨¦.
As these shocking incidents prove, weddings in 2024 are no longer just about vows and flowers. They¡¯re battlegrounds for honesty, integrity, and, in some cases, survival.
