In an alarming incident emerging from Shahbad tehsil in Rampur district, Uttar Pradesh, a wedding was dramatically cancelled after a last-minute revelation that the groom had been switched. In today’s digital age, where even matchmaking is conducted online, this incident serves as a stark reminder of potential pitfalls.
A young man from Shahbad, currently working in Delhi, got acquainted with an individual there. During their interactions, he mentioned his search for a suitable groom for his sister. The acquaintance soon shared a boy’s photo via WhatsApp, which the family found agreeable, and the marriage was arranged with the wedding date set for September 13.
