In an unusual incident from Maharashtra’s Murtizapur, a family canceled their daughter’s wedding after discovering that the groom had a low Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) score. The decision was made after the bride’s maternal uncle insisted on checking the groom’s financial history before finalizing the marriage.
Financial Check Leads to Shocking Discovery
The wedding arrangements were almost complete, with both families satisfied with the match. However, before giving their final approval, the bride’s uncle requested the groom’s CIBIL report—a credit score that reflects a person’s financial credibility. The findings shocked everyone.
The report revealed that the groom had taken multiple loans and was struggling to repay them. Concerned about their daughter’s financial security, the bride’s family decided to call off the wedding immediately.
Debt Becomes a Dealbreaker
“Why should we marry our daughter to someone already drowning in debt?” the bride’s uncle reportedly questioned. The rest of the family supported his decision, leading to the abrupt end of the marriage discussions.
Traditionally, arranged marriages in India consider factors like horoscope compatibility, family background, and social status. However, this incident highlights a growing trend—financial responsibility is now a key criterion in marriage decisions.
With rising awareness about financial stability, this case serves as a reminder that a poor credit score can affect not just loan approvals but even life’s most personal decisions.
