Husband waited at the college gate for two days after marriage, bride fled with lover

In Motihari, a bride fled with her lover just two days after her forced marriage, taking with her expensive jewelry and cash.

In a shocking turn of events in Motihari, a bride named Lucky Kumari eloped with her lover merely two days after her extravagant wedding to Bhanu Sharma. The families had organized a significant wedding on February 20, with the ceremony taking place in the village of Mjhar and festivities expected to commence thereafter. However, on February 21, while the bride claimed she had an exam to attend at Motihari College, she left her husband waiting at the college gate and vanished inside, where she met and ran off with her lover from her parental home.

After hours of waiting, Bhanu Sharma grew increasingly worried and attempted to locate his wife. Failing to find her, he informed his relatives, and they reported the incident to the local police at Turkaulia Station. Investigation into the situation is ongoing, as authorities attempt to uncover the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. The in-laws have also alleged that the bride made off with significant financial assets, including cash amounting to 100,000 rupees and valuable jewelry, raising questions about the motivations behind the forced marriage.

This incident highlights the complexities and sometimes tragic outcomes of arranged marriages and familial pressures in India. As the investigation proceeds, it emphasizes the need for addressing the emotional wellbeing and agency of young individuals caught in such situations, reflecting the ongoing societal discourse on love versus duty in the context of marriage.
