Groom Gets Beaten Up for Giving Rs 5,000 Instead of Rs 50,000 During 'Joota Chupai'

A wedding in Uttar Pradesh turned into a battlefield after the two families came to blows over money given for one of the ‘joota chupai‘ rituals. The matter escalated when the groom gave Rs. 5,000 instead of Rs. 50,000 to the bride’s family after they hid his shoes as the part of the ritual.

The groom identified as Muhammad Shabir, had come from Uttarakhand’s Chakrata to Bijnor for his wedding with his family. As rituals were underway during the wedding, the bride’s sister-in-law stole Shabir’s shoes and demanded Rs. 50,000 to get back his footwear. The ritual commonly requires the groom to meet the demands put forward by the bride's family and pay the demanded price to get his shoes back to proceed with the wedding rituals.

However, Shabir handed over Rs. 5,000 to the bride's sister which led to women in her family mocking him and soon they began calling him a beggar. This led to an argument between the two sides which transformed into a fight soon. Following the argument, a tussle soon broke out between the two families. According to the groom’s family, they were locked in a room and were beaten up with sticks. Meanwhile, the bride’s family claimed that Shabir’s family questioned them about the quality of gold they got as a gift. According to the bride's brother, Shabir’s family said they loved money more than the girl when he asked them whom they prioritized more. Then the wedding rituals were halted, and the dispute was reported to the police. The two families were taken to the police station to narrate the events and police said a settlement was reached soon after.
