An Indian bride canceled her wedding after her groom recited the multiplication table of two incorrectly.

一位印度新娘因為新郎背錯2的乘法表,當場取消婚禮。

A bride and groom who wish to remain unidentified were supposed to have the wedding for their arranged marriage on May 1 in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India.

不願透露姓名的新娘和新郎本應於5月1日在印度北方邦舉行婚禮,這是一樁包辦婚姻。

Skeptical of her future husband’s educational background, the bride decided to test his knowledge during the ceremony.

新娘懷疑未來丈夫的教育背景,因此決定在婚禮上測試他的知識。

When he failed to recite the multiplication table of two, the bride left, "saying that she could not marry someone who did not know basic math," reported INQUIRER.net.

據「菲律賓每日問訊者報」網站報導,當他背不出2的乘法表時,新娘轉身離開了,「說她不能嫁給一個連基礎數學都不懂的人。」

The bride’s cousin stated that the groom’s family did not inform them of his lack of education, adding that the bride was "brave" for leaving the wedding venue.

新娘的表妹說,男方家庭沒有告知新郎教育程度低的事實,並補充道,新娘離開婚禮現場的做法「很勇敢」。

The two families came to a compromise which included returning all gifts and jewelry to the appropriate parties.

這兩個家庭達成妥協,包括同意退還所有的禮物和珠寶給對方。
