In an unusual case from Murtizapur, Maharashtra, a prospective groom was rejected by the bride’s family just before finalizing the marriage because of his low CIBIL score. The incident has sparked fresh conversations around the growing weight of financial credibility in arranged marriages.
According to the report, both families had gathered to seal the match when the bride’s uncle insisted on checking the groom’s CIBIL details. To everyone’s surprise, the groom’s score was found to be low, with multiple active loans and an unstable repayment record. The revelation led the bride’s family to withdraw from the proposal, citing concerns over his financial reliability.
A CIBIL score ranging from 300 to 900 summarizes a person’s credit history and repayment track record. While a higher score reflects strong financial discipline, a low one indicates instability and missed payments. This unusual rejection highlights how financial stability, once a background check, is now emerging as a decisive factor in matrimonial decisions in modern India.
