NEW DELHI: An Indian doctor ended up marrying a complete stranger after his fiancée refused to marry him seeing his balding head when he took off his headpiece during the nuptials.
Covering a thousand miles, Ravi Kumar, neurosurgeon from New Delhi, had steered to the village of Sugauli in Bihar to marry a girl who he hadn’t met before – only to face a last minute rejection from the bride on February 18.
His family had arranged the wedding a year in advance after the girl's father stayed at Dr Kumar's father's home three times.
The girl was spared of the tie after a dozen relatives tried convincing her to change her mind, the groom also took on his pledge to not to return home bachelor and sought help from the local village’s council.
The council suggested him another match and the groom agreeably walked into marriage with daughter of a poor vegetable seller of the village few days after the disastrous turndown.
It is of surprise that the picture shows an upset bride walking into a sudden marriage although the groom seems content with the chancy decision.
