    A groom, hailing from Sialkot, took his baraat to the police station where he spent his wedding day filing a report against his bride-to-be and her family.

    According to the Express Tribune, 24-year-old Zeeshan Shaukat from Daska, Sialkot, arrived along with his wedding party in Sargodha only to find the bride’s house locked and the family nowhere in sight.

    Dressed in traditional wedding attire, including a sehra and garland, Zeeshan spent his wedding day filing a complaint against his bride-to-be Kausar and her mother Mumtaz Bibi.

    “The bride’s mother took Rs250,000 from us on the pretext of dowry,” he told the police.

    Zeeshan also said that upon arrival, they found the bride’s house locked. “When we asked women in the neighbourhood regarding their whereabouts, they expressed ignorance.”

    He added that they found out that Kausar and Mumtaz were tenants at the house which had been locked for over three days. “Even the ladies who were involved in the matchmaking are no longer available and their phones are switched off,” he said.

    According to the groom-to-be’s father Shaukat, the girl’s family had promised a wedding and instead they scammed. “Get my son his bride or recover the money,” demanded Shaukat while failing to hold back tears.

    Zeeshan went on to say that he is a poor farmer and his family had worked really hard to save the money for his wedding.

    “What will I tell people in my hometown when I return without a bride,” he added.

    According to police, a complaint has been filed and authorities are taking action as per the law to bring to justice the women responsible for the scam.

    Days after an Indian textile businessman, whose son’s marriage was fixed on February 13, allegedly eloped with the bride’s mother, the couple has appeared before the police to clarify the situation.

    According to The Indian Express, husband of the woman didn’t allow her back at home, following which, she went to her parents’ house. The marriage of son and daughter of the eloped couple was cancelled.

    The report quoted the family of the couple as saying that the marriage of the groom from Surat city was fixed with a bride from Vejalpore village in Navsari district. Preparations were on in full swing when the groom’s father allegedly eloped with the bride’s mother.

    Over 20 years ago, the groom’s father, now 43, who was from a poor economic background, had an affair with a woman from a rich family. The woman’s family was against the relationship and she was married off to a youngster from Navsari. The man got married to a woman from Surat.

    The family said the man met the woman, now 41, again at a funeral almost a year ago. By then their children were grownups and the man sent a marriage proposal of his son to the daughter of the woman. The girl and boy met and got engaged around eight months ago, following which the families agreed to the marriage.

    Both the families used to visit each other’s house and the couple met regularly. They were also in touch on social media, the family said.

    A few days before their elopement, the woman’s husband learnt about their relationship and had warned her, said Navsari police. Seeing no way out, the businessman, father of two sons, eloped with the woman on January 10, police said. The woman’s husband filed a missing complaint with Vejalpore police station, while another missing complaint was filed by family members of the businessman with Katargam police station and later with Kadodara police station in Surat.

    Before leaving Surat, the businessman called up his friend Raju and informed him about the same and requested him to take his bike home from Kadodadara. Raju reached Kadodara and informed the police. However, police failed to trace the couple.

    On Sunday night, the couple appeared before the police and clarified how they had left willingly.

    Dulha in trouble: Groom beaten up during doodh pilai

    ‘Doodh Pilai’ is a tradition at all desi weddings. The bride’s sisters, cousins or friends bring a decorated glass of milk for the groom. First, the bride takes a sip and then the groom takes a sip from the same glass. The groom then gives money as a token of thanks.

    Doodh Pilai is usually a merry tradition where the bride and groom’s families share some fun moments.

    But a Doodh Pilai rasam at Maraka village turned out to be quite eventful. The groom gave Rs 1,000 to the bride’s friends while they were expecting double the amount, i.e. Rs 2,000. This led to a violent fight between the bride and groom. As a result, the bride’s family beat up the groom.
