There were hours of talks. Family members, relatives, and villagers tried to solve the issue. According to reports, the groom’s family already knew about the relationship. However, the bride’s family said they had no idea about it before the message arrived.
The woman who claimed to be the first wife said she wanted justice. She also said she planned to submit an application at the police station.
Panchayat Decision Changes The Wedding
After long discussions, a surprising decision was made. The panchayat suggested that instead of the elder brother, the younger brother should marry the bride.
At first, the bride’s family did not agree. But later, due to social pressure and concern for the bride’s future, they accepted the proposal.
This decision changed the entire wedding plan overnight. The elder brother, whose haldi ceremony had already taken place, was no longer the groom.
Instead, the younger brother became the new groom.

What was supposed to be one wedding became a completely different event. The family managed to complete the marriage despite the confusion.
