An Indian wedding is incomplete without some kind of drama between the bride's and groom's relatives. The most popular reason behind a shaadi battle remains food.? It's either due to the quality or quantity.?
This wedding fight was to do with the latter. A wedding in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri district was called off after members of baraat were badly thrashed by the bride's relatives to everyone's utter shock.

According to a report in The Times of India, it was decided by the both families that there will only be 50 guests at the baraat. The bride's relatives lost it when 60-70 guests arrived for the wedding ceremony and an argument ensued between the two sides.?
So instead of going home a married man, the groom and guests came home blood soaked and bruised. The police had to intervene to control the situation.

"Both the villages are situated at a distance of merely 150 metres and the families had several common relatives. Since the girl's family was very poor they requested the groom's family to come in limited number of guests. Chicken was specially prepared on the request of groom for the guests.
"But after seeing 15-20 extra guests the girl's family asked the groom to reduce the number of guests. But it was taken as an insult by the groom's family and groom's uncle abused the other party which triggered the clash at the venue and the marriage was called off," the report quoted Sub-Inspector Suneel Kumar, In-charge of Sundarbal police post of Phoolbehar police station, as saying.
