Glad I didn’t end up like Raja Raghuvanshi: Groom’s relief as bride elopes with lover after wedding

In Uttar Pradesh’s Budaun district, a 20-year-old woman, who was recently married, left her husband and eloped with her lover less than a month after the wedding. The incident took place in Bisauli town and has since caught attention for the groom’s rather composed reaction.

According to police officials, the woman got married to Sunil, 23, on May 17 and stayed at her in-laws’ home for only nine days. She then left for her maternal home but did not return, news agency PTI reported. After ten days, Sunil filed a missing complaint when she could not be reached.

To everyone’s surprise, the young bride turned up at the police station on Monday, declaring in front of officers and family members that she wished to live with her lover instead.
