A Brazilian man has been ordered to pay £15,000 in damages to his ex-wife and mother-in-law after he announced in the middle of their wedding ceremony that his bride was "no longer a virgin", according to reports.

Jose Proenca Alves had reportedly fallen out with fiancee Vanessa Tonasse's parents because they had refused to let them sleep together until after they were married.

Even after the couple had tied the knot at a civil ceremony two days before the church service, the bride's staunchly-religious parents had still refused to let them consummate the marriage, he claimed.

According to guests, the groom appeared under the influence of alcohol as he arrived for the wedding at a Catholic church in Macae, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil.

Federal judge Nanci Mahfuz said: "Mr Alves was impassive, with a miserable face, during the whole ceremony.

"When Ms Tonasse's father gave her away at the altar, Mr Alves took a long time to take her hand, which caused considerable awkwardness among those gathered.

"He never once looked at his bride and didn't say his wedding vows, replying that he'd already done that two days earlier, causing embarrassment."

It was after the couple had been pronounced man and wife that Mr Alves turned to the 400 wedding guests and announced his newly-wedded wife was not a virgin as her parents believed, according to witnesses.

He then claimed that Ms Tonasse had lied to her mother and father "so she wouldn't lose out on the big wedding reception her dad had promised her."

After his outburst Mr Alves left the church alone and the wedding party was cancelled, Rio de Janeiro's 12th Civil Court heard.

Following the wedding day disaster in June 2005 Ms Tonasse separated from Mr Alves and the marriage was annulled.
