Jagran correspondent, Bijnor. In the marriage procession that took place on Wednesday in Bakshiwala of the city, the Imam clearly refused to conduct the marriage. On checking the Aadhar card, it was found that the age of the bride is quite young. She is a minor, while the groom is 45 years old. There was an uproar for a long time over the Imam's refusal. Later the wedding procession returned without the marriage.
A wedding procession in Seohara area had come to Bakshiwala in Kotwali area of the city on Wednesday. The wedding procession had eaten. Other rituals were also completed. During this time the Imam was called to perform the Nikah. Meanwhile, seeing the age of the groom and the small number of guests in the wedding procession, various kinds of discussions started. Imam also reached the wedding program in the afternoon. As soon as they reached the wedding, the groom's side insisted on the Imam to perform the Nikah quickly. The Imam became suspicious of the pressure exerted by the wedding guests to perform the Nikah quickly.
As soon as she saw the groom, she felt older. After some time it was revealed that the bride was below 18 years of age and was a minor. To confirm the suspicion, the Imam asked for the bride's ID. Voter ID card was not shown. Then asked for Aadhar card. The bride's age as per Aadhaar card was 15 and a half years. This made the Imam angry. Citing the law, he refused to teach Nikah. After much confusion, the wedding procession returned without the marriage ceremony. The matter remains a topic of discussion. It is said that the groom's side also paid the expenses incurred for the marriage. However, no complaint has been made in this matter. CO City Sangram Singh said that he was not aware of the matter. If complaint is received, investigation will be done.
