DEHRADUN: A bride called off her marriage after the groom did not buy a `mehanga lehnga’ (costly bridal trousseau).
Local reports said a girl from the Rajpura area of Haldwani was already engaged. However, when she came to know that the lehenga that the groom’s side brought for her cost “only” R10,000, she threw a tantrum. The groom’s side said they had ordered a lehenga exclusively from Lucknow.
