Indian Man’s Engagement Canceled: Bride’s Family Shaves Off Brother’s Moustache in Retaliation

Video Goes Viral: Bride’s Family Takes Revenge by Shaving Groom’s Brother’s Moustache

In a recent incident in Rajasthan’s Karauli district, a groom’s family called off an engagement after discovering discrepancies between the bride’s photographs and her actual appearance. This decision reportedly stemmed from the groom’s sister’s disapproval. In retaliation, the bride’s family publicly humiliated the groom’s brother by forcibly shaving off his moustache—a symbol of pride and masculinity in many parts of India.

The incident was captured on video, showing onlookers as the groom’s brother endured the degrading act. The footage has since gone viral, drawing sharp criticism and strong reactions online.

Following the video’s circulation, the groom shared his perspective, explaining that his family had requested more time to consider the engagement upon noticing the discrepancies. He emphasized that they had not officially canceled the wedding but needed time to deliberate. Feeling wronged by the public humiliation, the groom’s family has approached the police, alleging they are being coerced into a monetary settlement. As of now, no formal complaints have been filed by either party, but authorities are monitoring the situation.
