Bride Beats Up Groom And Cancels Wedding For Drinking Too Much Alcohol

An Indian bride beat up her groom and called off the wedding after he turned up drunk to their ceremony and passed out on International Women's Day. Ranjeet Kumar Kamat blackened her would-be husband's face with soot and threw a garland of shoes around his neck when he began calling out for beer during the wedding rituals.

He was locked in a room and only allowed out when the groom's family agreed to return the dowry. The marriage procession took place in the village of Khutauna-Natoli in the Madhubani district of India on Tuesday.

The couple had exchanged garlands during the first part of the ceremony when the groom went to a nearby road to drink alcohol with his cousin until both fell unconscious.

When they finally returned, the groom, who has not been named, kept demanding more beer. When he was refused, he sparked a brawl with the guests, it was reported by Gulf News India.

The mortified bride then flew into a rage and refused to marry him.
