In a move that is being hailed as courageous on social media, a woman called off her daughter’s wedding to a man who arrived intoxicated at the venue and proceeded to create a ruckus during the rituals.
According to ABP News, the groom and his friends showed up drunk at the wedding venue in Bengaluru, prompting the bride’s family to take the drastic step of cancelling the wedding.
In footage that has been shared widely on social media, the bride’s mother can be seen requesting the groom and his family to leave. With folded hands, she asked the wedding party to vacate the venue.
“If this is his behaviour now, what will happen to our daughter’s future?” she said.
According to an X post by @kalamkeechot, the groom and his friends showed up drunk at the wedding and proceeded to create a scene.
However, the final straw for the bride’s family came when the groom, under the influence of alcohol, threw a ceremonial plate used in Hindu rituals to the ground.
The video of the bride’s mother asking the groom and his family to leave has earned her much praise and appreciation on social media. Many viewers applauded the mother for taking a stand against inappropriate behaviour for the sake of her daughter.
One Instagram user remarked, “So proud of her for doing this!”, while another user called her a hero for protecting her daughter from an uncertain future with an irresponsible partner.
“I love how Indian women are starting to stand up for their kids publicly, without being concerned about what the world will say. We need more of this!” wrote one person in the comments section.
“I think she did the best thing for her daughter. If he is a drunk and behaved poorly on their wedding day there is probably a chance he is going to be that person forever,” another said.
