A Bride Called Off Her Wedding At The Altar After The Groom Couldn't Pass Her Math Test
So I guess I must first point out that this was an arranged marriage, which makes it a little less ridiculous but even more ridiculous all at the same time. My brain cannot comprehend how arranged marriages still a thing in today's day and age. I don't care if it's in another country, every competent human being on Earth should see that if you have to spend the rest of your life with someone, you should be allowed to pick who that person is. We're in the year 2021 folks. We're not talking about mom and dad setting these two up on a date. We're talking about a handpicked MARRIAGE. The rest of your life together. Waking up every day next to that person. Of all of the things this world has cancelled over the past couple years, how are arranged marriages not at the forefront of the discussion?
But regardless, it sounds like this woman was getting some very negative vibes about how stupid her soon to be husband appeared to be, so she gave him a quick Math test at the altar....
The groom, all decked up, reached the wedding hall on Saturday evening with his 'baraat' but the bride, who was suspicious of his educational qualifications, asked him to recite table of 2, before the garlands could be exchanged.
The groom failed to recite the table and the marriage was called off.
That's some Queen level shit right there. You want to marry me? Then I want you to pass this Math test in front of the entire congregation, right here at the altar. If not:
Talk about some serious pressure. I once got caught cheating on an entire years worth of Latin tests (had the answer book) in 11th grade, and the teacher said she wouldn't fail me for the entire course if I got an A on the final exam. Never studied harder for anything in my entire life. I thought that was the highest stakes test I'd ever have to take. But if wives are going to start quizzing grooms on their Wedding Day? I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
But then again, she didn't ask this guy to do calculus in front of everyone. I wish my girlfriend was this easy to appease. I've gotta cook, clean, go to Church, etc etc etc etc just to keep her happy. This dude had to go 2x2 is 4, 2x3 is 6, 2x4 is 8? Part of me thinks that this dude knew his 2 times table front and back, but he saw a way to get out of this arranged marriage as well. Act like a complete idiot and perhaps your pre-determined life partner will pass on spending the rest of her life with you. Now she looks like the one that broke the plan, not him. Ahhh yes, this may have been a calculated ploy to either continue living the single life or have the audacity to perhaps have a say in who he marries. Tip of the cap to our guy here.
