An Indian bride canceled her wedding after her groom recited the multiplication table of two incorrectly. |
A bride and groom who wish to remain unidentified were supposed to have the wedding for their arranged marriage on May 1 in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. |
Skeptical of her future husband's educational background, the bride decided to test his knowledge during the ceremony. |
When he failed to recite the multiplication table of two, the bride left, "saying that she could not marry someone who did not know basic math," reported INQUIRER.net. |
The bride's cousin stated that the groom's family did not inform them of his lack of education, adding that the bride was "brave" for leaving the wedding venue. |
"He may not have even gone to school. The groom's family had cheated us," she said to the Tribune India. "But my brave sister walked out without fearing social taboo." |
The two families came to a compromise which included returning all gifts and jewelry to the appropriate parties. |
