You Can't Do Simple Math, So I'm Not Marrying You

I had to check for a second if this was April 1st. You can't make this up.

http://news.yahoo.com/groom-fails-math-test-indian-bride-walks-wedding-065433753.html

An Indian bride walked out of her wedding ceremony after the groom failed to solve a simple math problem, police said Friday.

The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out.

The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six?

His reply: 17.

She probably didn't want to propagate his stupid genes! :)

But that's not all in that news report. This one was even a bigger eye-opener!

Last month, another bride in Uttar Pradesh married a wedding guest after the original groom had a seizure and collapsed at the wedding venue.

The groom's family had not revealed that the groom was epileptic. While the groom was rushed to a hospital in Rampur town, the bride asked one of the wedding guests to step in and married him.

Gives us all another way to look at the role of "Best Man" at a wedding, doesn't it?

:)

Zz.

Nice. I would love to watch him explain that to his friends and family.

"Rampur town, the bride asked one of the wedding guests to step in and married him."
I think the guest who married her, was one the relatives of the groom/bride. It was all over the radio when it happened. We all laughed.
Is it a coincidence or are both the incidents intentionally from the same country?

What would have really been funny is if he answered 21 and she walked out because she didn't know the answer.

 

[Suraj M]

And they actually returned the gifts after the wedding was called off..:D

I wonder how that exchange went.

LOL! Let me check my calculator.

He be like: "Wait, don't go. I have an S500 with central heating on the seats and it includes a calculator. Will you marry me now?"

He should have learned how to add from this

But he probably learned this way:

Nice to see natural selection still works.

I don't think it is pure coincidence:

Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely gets to know each other before the nuptials.

Wouldn't that make this a bit...incesty?

Hmm.. I just read that, she married a relative of her brother in law's family. Not necessary that he was a blood brother(relative).

Definition of incest is cultural dependent.
