Dowry dispute: Groom, baraatis detained, beaten
SHUJABAD: In an unusual incident today, the family of a bride held the groom and members of his wedding procession hostage before subjecting them to torture on a dowry issue.
The incident took place in Tehsil Shujabad of District Multan.
The tension began when the groom made a demand of 125 CC motorcycle in dowry instead of 70 CC. The demand angered the brides family, who then claimed that the groom had cheated them by bringing four tolah gold contrary to the agreed 6-tolah gold.
The tension mounted between the two sides, leading to a brawl.
The brides party held the groom and his baraatis and linked their release with the return of the dowry, which was already dispatched to the grooms hometown in Bahawalpur.
However, police reached the scene and arrested the groom, some members of his wedding procession and five relatives of the bride.
The police told Geo News that the detained people would be released once the dowry was returned to the brides parents.
