Kadaba, Apr 27: A marriage at the Konalu village wedding hall took a dramatic turn as the bride refused to allow the groom to tie the mangalsutra on Friday.

The marriage of Umesh, son of the late Kolpe Babu Gowda, was arranged with Saraswati, daughter of the late Koragappa Gowda of Kula in Bantwal. The ceremony was scheduled to take place at the Perla Sri Shanmukha temple at 11:35 am, followed by a reception at 1 pm at the groom's house in Kolpe.

Relatives and friends from both the bride and groom's sides gathered at the temple at the appointed time. The exchange of garlands proceeded smoothly, but when groom Umesh attempted to tie the mangalsutra around bride Saraswati's neck, she refused, stating that she was not interested in marrying him. Despite efforts from both parties to convince the bride, she remained resolute in her decision. Consequently, both parties approached the Uppinangady police station.

At the police station, bride Saraswati acknowledged her mistake and agreed to proceed with the marriage. However, this time, groom Umesh declined to go through with the marriage. Subsequently, both parties provided undertakings at the police station before returning to their respective homes.
