Bride Seeks Divorce Over Groom's Inability
A woman in India got married on November 28.
Three days later, she asked for a divorce.
She said her husband told her on their wedding night that he couldn't have children or be intimate.
The bride's family said a doctor's report confirmed this.
They also said this was the groom's second marriage, and the first wife left for the same reason.
The families met and agreed that the groom's family would return the wedding gifts and money.
The police are helping them settle the matter.
A newly-married woman in Gorakhpur sought divorce three days after her marriage, alleging her husband confessed to being physically incapable of marital relations on the wedding night.
The bride's family claims a medical report confirmed the groom 'cannot become a father', prompting them to demand the return of gifts and wedding expenses.
The groom, 25, is an engineer and the only son of a well-off farmer family in Sahjanwa.
The marriage was arranged through relatives, and the bride confided in her father during a customary ritual, leading to her immediate return to her parental home.
Both families met and agreed that the groom's family would return Rs 7 lakh in wedding expenses and all gifts within a month, with the matter being resolved mutually with police intervention.
