Indian bride marries wedding guest after groom suffers seizure during ceremony

Typically if a groom suffers a medical emergency the day of his wedding, the event is postponed. But one Indian bride was so determined to make sure her ceremony went forward that she married a wedding guest in her groom's absence.

Jugal Kishore, 25, had to be rushed to a hospital in India after suffering an epileptic seizure, the Times of India reports. But when Kishore recovered and returned to the wedding venue, he was dismayed to find his 23-year-old bride named Indira had already found another beau, the Times of India reports.

Indira and her family had reportedly been upset that they were kept in the dark regarding her groom's medical condition, and promptly announced that she would happily marry a guest at the wedding after Kinshore fell ill. That guest turned out to be a man named Harpal Singh, the brother-in-law of Indira's sister.

According to the the Times of India, Singh was caught off guard, but declared that he would take Indira as his wife. When Kishore arrived back at the venue, he and other guests pleaded with bride to reconsider, with violence breaking out as dishes and silverware were thrown across the venue. However, the bride stood firm in her decision.

Kishore's family went to the police to file a complaint, which they eventually dropped after elders intervened. ""Both families have amicably resolved the matter," Officer Solanki, a member with an Indian police unit, said. "The complaints have been withdrawn. Kishore and his family have now returned in peace to Moradabad, (India.)"
