"An Indian bride has walked out of her wedding ceremony after her groom-to-be failed to solve a simple math problem, police said Friday.

 

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 incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, local police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday.

 

The groom's family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education.

 

"The groom's family kept us in the dark about his poor education," said Mohar Singh, the bride's father. "Even a first grader can answer this."

 

Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts and jewelry that had been exchanged before the wedding, Kumar said.

 

Last month, another bride in Uttar Pradesh married a wedding guest after her groom-to-be had a seizure and collapsed at the wedding venue.

 

The groom's family had not revealed that the groom was epileptic. While the groom was rushed to a hospital in Rampur town, the bride asked one of the wedding guests to step in and married him.

 

Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely gets to know each other before the nuptials."

I can't even wrap my head around this concept.

Arranged marriage!

Man I'm glad there wasn't the pressure of doing math in my head on my wedding day :ohbrother:

That would be a great thread...what would you put on a pre-wedding test for your fiance?

So, he's not keeping the checkbook.

Wait, you mean the answer isn't 17?:idunno:

I am sure most of the "tests" would not involve math...

I can't even wrap my head around this concept.

 

I cannot either. I wonder what the divorce rate is in India compared to other countries that don't arrange the marriages.

I had an Indian fellow employee have his marriage arranged by his parents. Let's just say, his parents chose wisely. He would have never landed her w/out dowry and tradition.

With Common Core if he could show the process, the answer would not have meant so much and she most likely would have married him anyway.

That's great.

 

I too know of a couple of Indian people that out kicked their coverage with their arrangements.

He never was, even if she had married him.

What if he answered wrong on purpose?
