[Regnum] In the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, a bride named Sitara armed herself with a knife on her wedding night and held her groom captive for three days, threatening to kill him. This was reported by the News18 TV channel.
The girl was forced into marriage by her parents to 26-year-old Nishad, although she loved another man. After the wedding, when the newlyweds were alone, the bride took a knife and threatened to cut the groom into 35 pieces if he touched her, according to the June 25 article.
"I was freezing. I sat on the couch all night, and she stayed on the bed with a knife <…> I couldn't sleep, afraid that she might stab me in my sleep. I read about such cases in the newspapers. I thought I might become another headline," Nishad complained.
| What a strange country, that that is a standing headline. |
Three days later, the groom told his parents about it, they contacted the bride's family, a general meeting was held with the participation of elders. The girl was asked to accept the marriage, but she did not allow the appointed husband to approach her.
The tense relationship lasted for a month, then the girl ran away at night, climbing over a fence. Her actions were condemned by both families.
"If I ever marry again, it will be to someone who truly understands the meaning of marriage. Sitara never accepted me," Nishad said.
