A B.Tech graduate, Kusumakumari from Mudigubba, Anantapur District, used the “COVID-19 positive” status as an alibi to avoid a marriage she did not want.
Ms. Kusumakumari was engaged to Hariprasad of Dharmavaram and all was ready to tie the knot in the early hours of Thursday morning, but at the moment the bride said she was COVID positive. The groom was so desperate that he was ready to continue the marriage even if their status was COVID positive.
When the bride refused to give in, the groom and his parents complained to the Kadiri police about the annulment of the marriage and wanted the £ 1.5 they had left with the bride. When the police called the bride and her parents to the police station, it turned out that the boy had only studied to ITI but had told the girl that he had graduated from M.Tech. The bride told police that since the groom cheated on her, she did not want to marry this boy and that she wanted to buy time in the alibi to be COVID-19 positive.
The Kadiri police informed the groom that he could not force the girl to marry if she was not interested in him and looked into the groom’s request to get his £ 1.5 back as the family stayed there to help her To get money back to their home.
