Five Incidents When Bride Asked The Groom To Buzz Off

Groom slaps bride video: Just for dancing while entering the wedding hall for ceremonies, a bride got slapped by her groom. The bride slapped back the groom. Not to support violence but no more are Indian brides going to take the coy norms set for them by the society and bear the toxicity of their partners, even if it is the wedding day and the incident has taken place right before the "big" moment.

It is refreshing to see brides take a stand for themselves and get out of the toxic relations even if it is on their big day. But at the same time, it is disheartening young men act like they own the woman and have right over her actions and body.

Nobody has right over anyone else. She can dance, sing, laugh out loud and scream if she wants, it is her day and her choice. If a man feels otherwise, it is better to leave before tying-the-knot and going through the toxicity that the man has to offer.

Here are some of the incidents when brides and their families did not shy away from asking the groom to buzz off:
