({{AP}}) \u2014 {An Indian bride walked out of her wedding ceremony after the groom failed to solve a simple math problem, police said Friday.}<\/p>\n
The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out.<\/p>\n
The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six?<\/p>\n
His reply: 17.<\/p>\n
The incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, local police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday.<\/p>\n
The groom’s family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education.<\/p>\n
“The groom’s family kept us in the dark about his poor education,” said Mohar Singh, the bride’s father. “Even a first grader can answer this.”<\/p>\n
Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts and jewelry that had been exchanged before the wedding, Kumar said.<\/p>\n
Last month, another bride in Uttar Pradesh married a wedding guest after the original groom had a seizure and collapsed at the wedding venue.<\/p>\n
The groom’s family had not revealed that the groom was epileptic. While the groom was rushed to a hospital in Rampur town, the bride asked one of the wedding guests to step in and married him.<\/p>\n
Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely gets to know each other before the nuptials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
