A Kashmiri Muslim youth’s marriage to a local woman of the same community in a village in Ayodhya led to some tension for few hours in the area on Monday after residents protested and refused to let the bride go with the groom.

According to police, the 22-year-old groom and his three relatives — all belonging to a village in Pulwama in Jammu & Kashmir — had come to the village for the wedding on Monday that led to rumours of “some wrongdoing”.

“Locals started spreading rumours that Kashmiri men have come to take a girl from the village. We got a complaint regarding the wedding from some villagers, but when we visited the spot, we found that the Kashmiri youth and his three relatives had all the necessary documents to prove their identity,” said Ram Kishan Rana, SHO of Khandasa Police Station, adding that they got their documents verified from local Jan Sewa Kendra.
