The act was objected by both bride as well as her kin which led to a heated argument between the two sides. Both postgraduates, their marriage was arranged by their families and they were about to tie the knot in a grand wedding ceremony in Bareilly. While the prospective groom hailed from a village in Bareilly, the bride was from Kannauj.


Following the argument, the bride's parents said she cannot be forced to tie the knot with a man who didn’t respect her. Her family decided to go back home. They also allegedly filed a dowry complaint against the groom's side but the two sides arrived at a settlement 


According to a Times of India report, the groom's side agreed to pay Rs 6.5 lakh to the family of the bride-to-be. The report further claimed that two days after the incident, the groom's family attempted to convince the bride to re-arrange a simple wedding ceremony to solemnize the marriage, in a last-ditch effort, but in vain. The girl and her family refused to the proposal over the disrespect meted out to her by the groom's side during the wedding ceremony.
