In a shocking incident, a bride ran away from her home just a day before her wedding as she wanted to pursue her studies and prepare for the UPSC examination.
According to a ZEE report, the incident took place in Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur. The marriage of the girl was fixed with a youth from Mirzapur on June 3.
However, the bride ran away from her home just a day before the wedding when some rituals of marriage were being performed.
Reportedly, when the bride’s family came to know that she was missing, they were shocked and dumb folded. They tried to search her everywhere but they could not find her. When the girl was not found till late evening, her father lodged a missing complaint.
Meanwhile, the bride’s family decided to marry off another girl of the family to save their honour.
The bride’s family informed the groom and his family about the situation and proposed to marry off another girl of the family. The groom and his family agreed to the proposal and the wedding was solemnised.
