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.

This is just so funny and suprising at the same time

He did wrong by lying about his education level, but seriously I don't see this as a reason for her to leave.there r pple dat r illiterates but have achieved success in life. Its a marriage he ll be in not a school. Probably thatshe just wasn't interested in marrying himm in d first place.

That groom deserves to be imprisoned. how can 15+6=17? how!

make I just stay under my mango tree

olodo rabata

Marriage is now hinged on solving one stupid mathematics question?

India film.

naijaboiy:
15+6=17

15+6-x=17

Was the MATHS necessary at that time? He was probably thinking of how to pay back all he borrowed to make your wedding a success ...
