Ballia (UP), June 8

Upset over the groom arriving at their wedding venue in an inebriated state, a bride refused to marry him here, police said on Monday.

On June 5, the girl, a resident of Mishrauli village, was to get married to a man from Khejuri village, according to Maniyar police station SHO Shailendra Singh.

The marriage procession arrived at Mishrauli village, and as the preparations for the marriage were on, the girl suspected that the groom was drunk and had also consumed ‘gutkha’, the SHO said.

The groom pressured the bride to dance, and when she refused, he allegedly flared up in rage and created a scene.

The girl objected to it and refused to get married, leading to the cancellation of the wedding. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
