A bride filed a complaint against her groom after he kissed her in front of everyone at their wedding reception party in Uttar Pradesh.
The couple got married in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh and the wedding reception ceremony was held on November 28, in Pavasa village. The bride and groom were sitting on the stage when the groom suddenly kissed the bride.
Enraged, the bride left the stage and went to her room. The bride's family members tried to pacify her but she was adamant about going to the police station.
The bride refused to go on the stage and went to the police station to file a complaint.

In the complaint, the bride wrote, "I don't want to be with him anymore. I will stay at my house. I do not like his behaviour. A person who can do such an act in front of 300 people, how can he improve? That's why action should be taken against them for this act."
The groom denied the allegations and said the kiss was part of a bet between him and the bride. He claimed that he and the bride had made a bet. If the groom kissed her in front of everyone on the stage, then she would give him 1,500 rupees. If he could not, then he would pay 3,000 rupees to the bride.
When the station in charge asked the bride about the same, she claimed that no bet was made between them.
After a long discussion, both parties came to the agreement that the bride and groom could not live together. The police officials said that since their marriage had not been registered, the couple could file for a divorce if they wanted.
