      <title>Gujranwala: Bride refuses to marry groom in dramatic wedding twist; marries cousin instead</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330410826/gujranwala-bride-refuses-to-marry-groom-in-dramatic-wedding-twist-marries-cousin-instead</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A wedding in Alipur Chatha took a dramatic turn when a dispute between the families of the bride and groom led to the bride refusing to proceed with the marriage, resulting in the groom returning home empty-handed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, which unfolded in true cinematic style, saw a grand wedding procession arrive at the hall with music and celebration. Guests showered the venue with Rs 5,000 currency notes in a festive display. However, tensions quickly escalated as a heated argument broke out between the bride and groom’s families.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amid the chaos, the bride refused to go through with the nikah (marriage contract), leaving the groom—dressed in his wedding attire—shocked and forced to return without his bride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an unexpected twist, the bride was later married to her maternal cousin, who had attended the ceremony as a guest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the disruption, reports suggest that the groom had been promised a car worth Rs10 million as part of the dowry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident has gone viral on social media, with many reacting to the unpredictable nature of the turn of events—proving once again that reality can often outshine fiction.&lt;/p&gt;
