An Indian bride has walked out of her wedding ceremony after her groom-to-be failed to solve a simple math problem. The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out. The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six. His reply: 17.
The groom's family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education. Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts that had been exchanged before the wedding.
Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely get to know each other before the nuptials.
India is not the only country that has arranged marriages. Look around you. They are closer than you think.
Just a thought.
