NEW DELHI (AP) — An Indian bride
walked out of her wedding ceremony
after the groom failed to solve a
simple math problem, police said
Friday.
The bride tested the groom on his
math skills and when he got the sum
wrong, she walked out.
The question she asked: How much is
15 plus six?
His reply: 17.
The incident took place late
Wednesday in Rasoolabad village
near the industrial town of Kanpur in
northern Uttar Pradesh state, local
police officer Rakesh Kumar said
Friday.
The groom's family tried persuading
the bride to return, but she refused.
She said the groom had misled them
about his education.
"The groom's family kept us in the
dark about his poor education," said
Mohar Singh, the bride's father.
"Even a first grader can answer this."
Local police mediated between the
families and both sides returned all
the gifts and jewelry that had been
exchanged before the wedding,
Kumar said.
Last month, another bride in Uttar
Pradesh married a wedding guest
after the original groom had a
seizure and collapsed at the wedding
venue.
The groom's family had not revealed
that the groom was epileptic. While
the groom was rushed to a hospital
in Rampur town, the bride asked one
of the wedding guests to step in and
married him.
Most marriages in India are arranged
by the families of the bride and
groom. Except for brief meetings, the
couple rarely gets to know each other
before the nuptials.
