Bride calls off marriage after groom's guests fight over air cooler

In a bizarre incident, a bride called off her wedding ceremony after guests fought over seating near the air cooler, leaving the groom and his family stunned.

According to Indian media, the incident occurred in the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh, where the groom, Hukumchandra Jaiswal, was set to tie the knot.

However, the altercation between guests over access to the air-conditioner quickly spiraled out of control.

The verbal spat escalated into a physical fight, forcing the police to intervene and restore order.

Despite efforts to salvage the situation, the bride refused to proceed with the rituals, citing the "unseemly behaviour" of the guests.

The groom and his family attempted to persuade the bride to reconsider, but she remained resolute in her decision.

According to the groom, his family had agreed to the marriage without any dowry.

Police station chief of Chittabragaon Prashant Chaudhary said mediation efforts were made between the two parties but ultimately failed.

As a result, the wedding ceremony was cancelled, and notices were issued to both parties under India's Section 151 for disturbing public peace.
