₹5,000 Gift During 'Joota Chupai' Ritual Triggers Clash; Groom Assaulted, Called ‘Beggar’ by Bride’s Family
A joyful wedding ceremony turned into a battleground in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor after a light-hearted ritual took a bitter turn - landing the groom in trouble for offering ₹5,000 instead of ₹50,000.
Fun Tradition Turns Ugly
The incident took place in Bijnor when Muhammad Shabir , a groom from Chakrata in Uttarakhand, arrived with his wedding procession. During the traditional joota chupai—where the bride’s family hides the groom’s shoes and demands money for their return - Shabir handed over ₹5,000.
However, his gesture wasn’t taken lightly. Women from the bride's side mocked him, calling him a “beggar” for offering what they felt was an insultingly low amount.
Locked Up and Beaten
As tensions rose, arguments erupted between the two families. Things spiraled out of control when the bride’s relatives allegedly locked Shabir and some of his family members in a room and beat them with sticks.
The bride's family, however, claimed that the situation worsened only after Shabir’s relatives questioned the quality of the gold gifts they had received.
‘Money Matters More Than the Bride’?
According to the bride’s brother, Shabir’s family even suggested they valued money over the bride herself - a comment that further inflamed the conflict.
Police Step In
Local police were informed, and officers were sent to defuse the tension. Both families later reached the Najibabad police station to present their sides of the story. After hearing both versions, officials helped the families reach a mutual understanding.
From Celebration to Conflict
What was meant to be a fun, harmless tradition ended in chaos and violence - highlighting how quickly cultural rituals can take a dark turn when egos and emotions run high.
