In other How-Is-This-Even-Possible news, a bride abandoned her to-be husband minutes before the pheras and ended up marrying a guest. According to a report in the Times of India, everything was going well at the wedding when, right before the pheras began, the groom suffered a sudden epileptic fit.
He was rushed to the hospital, but the bride, who was furious that the groom’s family had hidden the news, announced that she would “happily marry” a guest who was present in the crowd, Harpal Singh – her sister’s brother-in-law. Harpal was initially hesitant, but then declared that he would take the bride-to-be, Indra, as his wife. The two of them performed the varmala and pheras, becoming man and wife.
The groom, Kishore, came back to the venue after he regained consciousness to find that his bride was now someone else’s! There were a lot of scuffles, with forks and dishes becoming weapons, but all in vain – Indra wouldn’t back down. Kishore then filed a complaint with the police station, which was withdrawn later after the intervention of elders.
