Telangana Bride Cancels Wedding Over Dowry Demand

Bride in Telangana Cancels Wedding Over Dowry Demand

A wedding in Telangana was abruptly canceled by the bride after she demanded a higher dowry from the groom’s family. The incident took place in Ghatkesar, near Hyderabad, where the wedding was scheduled to happen on Thursday.

What Happened?

  • The bride, who was traveling from Aswaraopet village, refused to attend the wedding.
  • The groom’s family, confused by her absence, visited her at a nearby hotel, where her family was staying.
  • They were shocked to learn that she was demanding more dowry before proceeding with the marriage.

Police Involvement

After the bride’s unexpected refusal, the groom and his family rushed to the police station to report the matter. The bride’s family was summoned, and the police facilitated a discussion between both sides.

A police officer stated:

“The families talked it out, and the wedding was called off. No formal complaint was filed, as the bride simply did not want to marry and used the dowry demand as an excuse.”

Final Outcome

  • The bride’s family had received Rs 2 lakh in dowry from the groom’s side.
  • Since the bride was firm on canceling the wedding, the money was returned, and both families went their separate ways.

This incident highlights ongoing dowry-related issues in Indian marriages and the complexities that arise from traditional customs.
