Jhansi: The conjugal life went for a toss for the newly married couple. It happened due to the groom's refusal to accept three bizarre conditions in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi district. During the 'Vidai' (farewell) ceremony, the bride's stepfather put three conditions before the groom. The groom refused the proposal. This led to the breaking of marriage ties.

The bride did not accompany the groom and the marriage broke up. The matter was brought to the notice of the police. The groom and his relatives went to the police station seeking justice in the matter. The groom spent a whole day at the police station.

According to sources, the marriage ceremony took place at Baruasagar in Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh. The marriage of a youth Manvendra was fixed with a girl Jyoti from a nearby village. The wedding ceremony took place on June 6. Everything went on as per plan. The groom's family was happy with this marriage.

The first condition was that the bride and groom would never establish physical relations. The second condition was that her (the bride's) younger sister would go to her in-law's house with the bride.

The third condition was the bride's father would visit his daughter's in-laws' place anytime. No one will stop him from visiting the place. On hearing the three conditions, the groom was taken aback.
