GOPALGANJ: Mathematics is tough for many, everybody knows. But what if it starts to tell on the nuptial bonds, then it becomes painful.

It may appear strange, but it is true and this happenned in Bhore of Gopalganj district where a bride rejected her groom as he failed to solve a simple mathematical puzzle of four and three during a marriage ceremony there.

It so happenned that the marriage of Sarita Kumari, daughter of Vishwanath Prasad of Jagtauli village in Bhore police station, was fixed with Tinku, a resident of Karom village in Siwan district. The `baraat' party reached the bride's house and all the rituals were performed by the women of the family.

Tinku was taken inside for marriage and then things went topsy turvy for the bridegroom. Some of the women asked him to give answer to sum of three and four. And Tinku failed to solve the simple mathematical puzzle.

When the bride came to know that her would-be husband could not solve such a simple question, she refused to marry him and left the mandup. Both the families sat together and tried to solve the problem. And finally, the girl agreed to marry Pintu, Tinku's younger brother. And the marriage was solemnised three days after. And poor Tinku had to return empty-handed.

i loved this. just think of the possibilities if you extended this. he had to be able to hold down a job and keep her satisfied in bed too. But that math problem that probably will weed out some real losers.

Better than in the past when all he had to present a dowry of three chickens and a goat.

LOL That must suck to know your bride married your brother instead.
