A marriage was cancelled moments before nuptial rites as the groom refused to marry the bride as he felt that the bride appeared older.
The relatives of the bride thrashed the groom for this before handing him over to police. As per the details Likitha, resident of Bandharam village in Kondapakala mandal in Medak district, was engaged to Donti Pradeep Reddy of Narsampet. The marriage was to be performed at NGO Colony in Hanamkonda of Warangal district on Wednesday. However Pradeep changed his mind moments before the marriage was to be solemnized and told the guests that the bride looked older to him. Both the man and the woman were said to be divorcees going for a second marriage.
Bride’s father Madhusudan Reddy said he had given Rs 10 lakh as dowry to Pradeep. He said he had also registered a plot in Pradeep’s name as part of dowry.
