Bride Marries Wedding Guest After Groom Goes Missing

A bride has tied the knot with a wedding guest after the groom went missing in the town of Maharajpur, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

It was gathered that the couple had completed their ‘jaimala’ (exchange of garlands), when the groom went missing.

The groom was nowhere to be found as the families were getting ready for the main ceremony.

The bride’s family after a search concluded that the groom did not just disappear but intentionally fled the scene.

Following several deliberations, the bride then tied the knot with a member of the marriage party from the groom’s side whose family also agreed to marry him off to the woman.

The bride’s family after the marriage reportedly lodged a complaint against the groom and his family.

See the statement released on the incident, “We have received a complaint in this regard from both the bride and groom sides. While the bride’s side has sought suitable action against the groom and his family members, the groom’s father, Dharampal, in his complaint, has sought police help to trace his missing son. Investigations are continuing in this regard.”
