Would You Leave Your Groom At The Altar If He Failed A Maths Question?

Hey, you think you had something to hide when standing at the altar? This fella found out the hard way that your wedding day isn't the best time to be caught with your pants down.

If anyone can relate to fearing someone might have overstated their level of education, it’s us South Africans. Does the name Hlaudi Motsoeneng ring a bell anyone, he of SABC infamy? You can take a little stroll down memory lane HERE.

Well what if your dearly beloved, the person you were going to spend the rest of your life with, told a few fibs about their level of education – deal breaker or a light slap on the wrists? This bride in India thought the former, as reported in Times of India:

The bride-to-be got suspicious of the groom’s educational qualification. Her cousins asked the groom to solve simple mathematical question, what is 15+6. The groom failed to give the correct answer and the girl refused to marry him…

The bride and her cousins received a shock when the groom said 15+6 is 17 instead of 21.

Now quite what level of education the groom fibbed about is unclear, but if that was the question that was put forward I’m guessing he wasn’t claiming a doctorate. The bride’s family was so angered by the betrayal that they informed the police, although a compromise was reached between the families before action was taken.

Let that be a lesson to us all that pre-wedding honesty, at least in matters where one can so easily be caught out, is certainly the best policy.
