    NEW DELHI (AP) — An Indian bride walked out of her wedding ceremony after the groom failed to solve a simple math problem, police said Friday.

    The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out.

    The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six?

    His reply: 17.

    The incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, local police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday.

    The groom's family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education.

    "The groom's family kept us in the dark about his poor education," said Mohar Singh, the bride's father. "Even a first grader can answer this."

    Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts and jewelry that had been exchanged before the wedding, Kumar said.
    Really, this should be part of EVERY marriage ceremony. It would save people from hooking up with spouses who don't understand compounding interest.

      Or the fact that you don't have money just because you have checks.

        I'll ask my groom what he thought of the climax of a particular story and then walk out if he gives me his thoughts about the conclusion.

        Priorities. lol.

          What if he says "spoiler alert" first?

          These things are important.

          Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
