Failing to answer a maths problem correctly, having poor eyesight - these are just some of the reasons behind brides dumping their grooms at the altar that have made headlines of late. On the surface, the stories may appear to be trivial, but there is enough to suggest that the women and their families are now more than ever taking such steps, believing their trust was violated by the man or his family. Some of the reasons cited by these women – lack of education, or visual impairment – may seem frivolous, but marriage is after all a major life decision that people need to get into with adequate knowledge about the partner. But in a country like India where arranged marriage happens over one or two perfunctory meetings and after looking into the family background, their financial and social position, it is hardly surprising how much it is possible to hide from the other party. Here are some instances: 1.

As a joke, the friends of the bride gave the groom a wad of cash and asked him to count the currency notes.
