Indian bride bails on her wedding after the groom bombs a ridiculously easy math test
The math problem? 15 + 6.
The groom said the answer was 17.
According to the AP, "the incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state" where marriages are often arranged between the families of the bride and groom.
Traditionally, Indian weddings are multiple day-long events that are attended by hundreds or sometimes even thousands of friends, family, and locals.
It is unclear whether this couple knew each other well, if at all, prior to the wedding day.
It's not uncommon for a wedding to fall apart if something that had been purposefully hidden comes out before (or in this case, on) the wedding day. In February, a bride angrily demanded a wedding guest to step in for her groom-to-be after the man collapsed and had a seizure during the ceremony.
The groom's parents had not disclosed that their son suffered from epilepsy. The bride married the wedding guest instead.
The groom's parents could not convince the bride to carry out the wedding ceremony, and it seems her parents took her side completely.
Local police were soon called in to mediate the situation.
"The groom's family kept us in the dark about his poor education," Mohar Singh, the bride's father, was reported saying."Even a first grader can answer this."
15 + 6 = 21.
