The incident resulted in a heated argument and the bride decided to return home. &ldquo;I respect her decision. I cannot force her to marry a person who doesn&rsquo;t respect her," the bride's father said.
Her brother mentioned that the groom&rsquo;s family had also been asking for more dowry.
&ldquo;I was involved in preparations when guests from both sides started misbehaving. But, no one misbehaved with the bride. The groom doesn&rsquo;t even drink,&rdquo; an angry intermediary said, blaming guests from both sides for the "dance" incident.
Bithri Chainpur SHO Ashok Kumar Singh explained, &ldquo;The wedding has been called off. The woman&rsquo;s family had filed a dowry complaint. No FIR was registered since it is an issue between two families. They reached a settlement."
The bride&rsquo;s cousin said, "The groom&rsquo;s friends misbehaved with my sister. In our family, we don't allow women to dance in public."
Both the bride and the groom are post-graduates and their relationship had been mediated by a common relative.
