Fell In Love On Facebook, Married In Temple. But When Bride Reached His House, Groom Said...
A Facebook friendship between a man from Uttar Pradesh and a girl from Jharkhand led to marriage, but he later he denied knowing her
What began as a Facebook friendship between a young man from Uttar Pradesh and a girl from Jharkhand soon turned into a dramatic dispute involving police intervention.
According to reports, the girl had accepted a friend request from the Sonbhadra-based youth, who works with Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL). Their online chats and video calls soon grew into a relationship. After meeting in person, the two decided to marry, and in a local temple they exchanged vows and performed the traditional saat phere (seven rounds).
The girl claims she left her family behind to start a new life with him. But the story took a shocking turn when she went to her husband's home in NCL Kakri Colony under Anpara police station limits. Instead of welcoming her, the young man allegedly refused to acknowledge the marriage. 'Sorry, who are you? I don't know you," he reportedly told her.
The bride, stunned by his denial, broke down in tears and then staged a dharna outside the house, accusing him of betrayal. Soon, a crowd gathered in the colony and the matter escalated, prompting police to intervene.
She later lodged a written complaint at the police station, stating that the man lured her into a relationship through Facebook, married her, and is now refusing to accept her as his wife. She has demanded justice and protection of her rights.
Police officials confirmed they are looking into the case. 'The legal aspects of the marriage and the allegations made by the girl will be examined. If the claims are found to be true, necessary action will be taken," said officers.
The case has sparked debate in the area, highlighting how relationships formed on social media can sometimes lead to disputes and heartbreak.

PropEquity sues CRE Matrix for alleged data theft, Delhi HC issues summons
Delhi-based real estate analytics firm PropEquity has filed a case against Mumbai-based CRE Matrix in the Delhi High Court, alleging data theft and infringement of its primary real estate data. PropEquity has sought a permanent injunction and damages of Rs 8 crore on account of the alleged data theft. A single-judge bench of Justice Manmeet PS Arora of the Delhi High Court issued summons to Bhugol Analytics Private Limited (trading as CRE Matrix), its directors and some employees, in an order dated July 24, released on Wednesday. The court granted time to the defendants to file their written statements and posted the matter for hearing on September 19. PropEquity, operated by PE Analytics Limited, alleged glaring similarities and almost identical figures in the primary residential data segment reported by CRE Matrix in its 'India Housing Report' published in May 2025. The firm also said CRE Matrix was not operating in the domain of primary residential data during 2021–24, the period for which the figures were released in its May 2025 report. It added that CRE Matrix acted by unethically soliciting the plaintiff's former employees, who had held important positions but resigned, violating non-compete clauses and joining the rival company. 'They colluded with the defendant and compromised the proprietary primary residential data of the plaintiff,' PropEquity said in its plea before the Delhi High Court. The firm added that it has also filed police complaints with the cyber crime branch in Gurugram, and the police has initiated an investigation.
