In a surprising incident from Telangana, a bride called off her wedding at the last minute because she was unhappy with the dowry amount offered by the groom’s family.
The wedding was planned for Thursday in Ghatkesar, near Hyderabad. The bride, who was supposed to travel from Aswaraopet village, did not show up at the venue. When the groom’s family went to the hotel where her family was staying, they were shocked to learn that the bride was demanding more dowry.
According to local customs followed by the tribe, the groom’s family had already paid ₹2 lakh as reverse dowry to the bride’s family. However, the bride demanded a higher amount and refused to attend the wedding ceremony.
Frustrated and confused, the groom and his family went to the police station to report the incident. The police then called both families for a discussion.
A police officer stated, “The families spoke to each other and decided to call off the wedding. There was no formal complaint or case filed. It appeared that the bride was not interested in the marriage and used the dowry demand as a reason to cancel it.”
The bride’s family later returned the ₹2 lakh that was previously given by the groom’s family. Both families agreed to end the matter peacefully and went their separate ways.
