Wedding Drama
MIAN CHANNU: In a surprising and unusual turn of events, two wedding processions in Mian Channu’s Millat Town returned without their brides, following disputes that escalated into significant family disagreements.
The incidents, which unfolded on the same day, left both families in shock and the local community buzzing with gossip.
The first incident involved a wedding procession that arrived from Burewala, ready to celebrate the union of a young couple.
However, the joyous occasion quickly turned sour over a disagreement about the bride’s Haq Mehr, a mandatory gift or token of respect that the groom must present to the bride.
The bride’s family had specific demands regarding the Haq Mehr, which they expected the groom’s family to fulfill. However, when the groom’s family refused to meet these demands, tensions quickly escalated.
The disagreement became so heated that it ultimately resulted in the cancellation of the Nikah ceremony, with the groom and his family returning home empty-handed, without the bride.
The situation left both families at an impasse, with the groom’s side feeling insulted and the bride’s side standing firm on their demands.
The second wedding procession, which came from Ghaziabad, was marked by an even more bizarre series of events. In this case, the Nikah ceremony was completed without any apparent issues.
However, immediately after the ceremony, an unexpected twist occurred—the groom abruptly divorced the bride and left without her. This shocking decision stunned everyone present, especially the bride’s family.
The father of the brides, Abbas, voiced his deep disappointment and frustration, revealing that the groom’s family had initially shown a different groom during the pre-wedding discussions but brought someone else on the actual day of the wedding. This deceit led to a confrontation between the families, with emotions running high on both sides.
As the arguments intensified, the local police from City Police Station in Mian Channu were called in to mediate and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. The police managed to calm the heated exchange and eventually sent both wedding parties back to their respective homes.
What made these incidents even more remarkable was the fact that the two brides, who ended up staying at home instead of leaving with their grooms, were sisters.
The two sisters, who had likely envisioned their wedding day as one of joy and celebration, were left dealing with the aftermath of family disputes that overshadowed their special day.
These events have left a lasting impression on the local community, serving as a reminder of how quickly wedding celebrations can be derailed by disagreements and misunderstandings.
The incidents have sparked discussions about the importance of clear communication and mutual respect in marriage arrangements, particularly regarding sensitive issues like the Haq Mehr.
