A villager named Shahid was tricked into marrying a 70-year old woman by a matchmaker.
As per details, the groom did not get to see her bride until after the wedding. He claimed that the woman he got married to was not the one who the matchmaker had shown them, adding that his family had paid the matchmaker’s fee of Rs 20,000 and had also paid an additional Rs 60,000 to the bride’s family for dowry.
According to the bride Nusrat Bibi, she was dragged into the whole situation when the bride-to-be ran away. Nusrat actually worked as a domestic helper at the home of the girl the matchmaker had promised Shahid as wife.
The groom and his family have registered an FIR against the family of the bride and the matchmaker in order to recover their money. The matchmaker has fled the scene.
