Bride Gives Birth Two Days After Wedding in Prayagraj, Groom Refuses to Accept Her

A newlywed groom in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, was left in shock when his bride went into labour just two days after their wedding, leading to a dramatic turn of events. The groom, unaware of the pregnancy, rushed her to the hospital, where she gave birth, sparking outrage within his family.
Family Alleges Deception
The groom’s family accused the bride of concealing her pregnancy by strategically wearing her lehenga to hide her baby bump. In a viral video, the groom’s sister demanded answers, questioning how the family could have detected the pregnancy.
"She was wearing a lehenga from her waist up. We thought maybe she was feeling cold, so she wore it that way. How were we supposed to know what she was hiding?" she said in the video.
