Punjab Bride Calls Off Wedding Claiming Groom Was Different From Photo Shown
A wedding in Punjab's Firozpur district was called off when the bride refused to marry the groom after seeing him at the venue, alleging she had been shown a photograph of a different man beforehand. The groom's family denied this, stating the marriage was arranged with mutual consent and that photos had been shared prior. Police received a complaint and investigated, but the families later resolved the dispute privately without proceeding with the marriage.
