Drunk groom chased away

Drunk groom chased away: Villagers at a wedding in Bihar felt the groom had arrived too drunk to get married, so the bride married the groom’s more sober brother instead, the police said on Monday.

“The groom was drunk and had reportedly misbehaved with guests when the bride’s family and local villagers chased him away,” Madho Singh, a senior police officer said after Sunday’s marriage in a village in Bihar’s Arwal district. The younger brother agreed to take the groom’s place beside the teenage bride at her family’s invitation, witnesses said.
