Patna: A groom waited for his newly wedded wife for three hours outside an examination centre in Jharkhand state as his bride was busy writing an examination.
The wedding of Priyanka Kumari to Anirudh Kumar Sharma was solemnised in Dhanbad town in Jharkhand on February 18, and the bride’s family was ready to see her off, when someone told the groom that her examination was scheduled on that very day.
Reports said the bride’s family didn’t inform the groom’s side thinking they may, perhaps, would not allow her to sit for the examination just after the marriage.
But all their fears proved wrong.
Once the groom came to know about his bride’s examination, he took her to the examination hall in his car and kept waiting outside the examination hall until the exam was over, family members said.
When the exam was over, he took the bride back to his in-laws and it was only then that girl’s parents saw her off.
The incident has now become a talk of the town.
“I was not thinking of my examination and had thought I was going to miss it but thanks to support from my husband, I appeared for my Bachelor of Education test. I am very happy now,” the bride told the media.
A similar incident had taken place early this month in Bihar when a female examinee rushed to the examination centre to write her papers at the just-concluded class 12 examination barely four hours after she had delivered a baby boy at the local hospital, with her newborn in arms.
The examinee had developed labour pain just before her examination was to start and everybody thought she would miss it but such was her determination that she rushed to the exam hall soon after her delivery, ignoring warning by the doctors.
