A wedding ceremony in a village of Kyoladiya police station area on Saturday night turned into a ruckus when a drunken groom garlanded the bride’s friend instead of her during Jaimala.
According to the villagers, the procession had come from a village in Barkheda police station area. People from the bride’s side were busy serving the wedding guests. It is alleged that when the wedding procession reached the wedding hall, the groom was drunk and even fell on the ground several times. At the time of Jaimala, when the bride garlanded the groom, the groom took out the garland from his own neck and put it around her friend’s neck instead of the bride’s.
Refused to marry, bride slapped groom
The bride became angry with this action of the groom and refused to marry her and slapped the groom. After this there was a fierce fight between the gharatis and the wedding guests. Chairs were moved and food was thrown. Many people also got injured during this period. Police reached the spot and took control of the situation.
Police detained the groom and many of his friends

Friends provided liquor, crackdown on middleman

The bride ran away with her lover before the wedding
On the other hand, a case of Mandi Dhanaura is in discussion. Here the bride eloped with her lover before the marriage. There was a stir when the matter came to light. The daughter’s father somehow told the people of the groom’s side. On the fixed date, the middleman got the boy married to his relative.
The marriage of a girl from a village in the police station area was fixed with a young man from a village in Amroha area. The marriage was fixed for 20 February. People from bride and groom’s side were busy in preparations. It is said that on February 16, the girl eloped with her lover.
