Indian Bride Cancels The Wedding As The Groom Cannot Read 2 Times Table

In an unprecedented turn of events, a young man in India had his education tested by his fiancée with a simple test: Read the multiplication table by 2. Sadly, the groom cannot read the multiplication table. As a consequence, the wedding which was about to take place was canceled.

It is known that this is an arranged marriage. Family members from both sides and some villagers had gathered at the wedding venue, but as it was about to take place, the bride came out and declared that she couldn’t marry someone who didn’t even read 2 times table. Friends and relatives also could not convince the bride.

The bride’s cousin said they were shocked to find out that the groom had no education. “The groom’s family has been hiding from us about his education.

He may not even have attended school. The groom’s family lied to everyone. But my brave sister was bold enough to leave aside the fear of the taboos.”

The police did not intervene in the case because the two families reached an agreement after this incident. Accordingly, the bride’s and groom’s families will return each other’s gifts before canceling the marriage.

As soon as the story when viral on the internet, many netizens showed support to the bride’s decision. They agree that if the bride is an educated one, she has the right to expect her husband to be the same. She was also praised for her braveness of canceling the wedding despite the norm.

Some people also added that an arranged wedding can never be the answer to true hapiness.
