Ouch! Bride turns out to be a boy

Lucknow, Nov 12: What is worse than the situation when a shying young bride actually turns out to be a boy. This unfortunate incident took place with 37-year-old Balak Ram, a resident of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh.

According to reports, Balak Ram paid Rs 50, 000 to get married to Hukum Singh, a dance troupe leader, who had promised him to find a bride.

As per his promise, Hukum Singh introduced Balak Ram who is reported to be mentally unsound, to a 29-year-old Raj Kumari and within 48-hour their wedding was solemnized. The wedding function was attended by number of Balak's relatives and friends.

A whole week after the wedding, Balak Ram discovered to his disappointment that his shying young bride, Raj Kumari was actually a Raj Kumar. He was, in reality, a 15-year-old boy.
