A groom’s mother beat him with a chappal during his wedding ceremony in India’s Uttar Pradesh.

In a viral video clip, the bride and the groom can be seen exchanging garlands when the groom’s mother came on the stage. She pushed the photographer aside, removed her slippers and started beating her son.

Her face was covered with a dupatta. A man wearing a yellow T-shirt stopped her and brought her down from the stage.

The incident was reported from a guest house in Sumerpur in the Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh.

As per reports, the groom’s mother beat him because he married a girl from another caste. His family was not in favour of this marriage. Thus he married the girl in court.
