In India, there are two types of weddings: those in which the groom's family does not expect dowry but does seek "wedding presents" from the bride's family, and those in which the groom's family emphatically rejects the idea of dowry.?
On Sunday, a groom in Hyderabad called off his wedding after learning that the bride's family was planning to offer him dowry in the form of used furniture. An official complaint has been filed against him, and an investigation is being carried out.?
After much waiting, the bride's father was notified that Zakeer and his family would not attend the ceremony since they had no plans to marry his daughter.
The bride's father had stated to the media that when he went to the groom's house and questioned the family there, they informed him that they were dissatisfied with the furniture given to them.?
He stated that they claimed the table had been used before and demanded different things as part of the dowry.
The bride's father has filed a complaint with the police alleging that Mohammad Zakeer refused to marry his daughter, giving the reason that used furniture was provided to him as dowry.?
The bride's father filed the complaint. In addition, he says that when he went to confront the family, he was treated aggressively and rebuffed.
