Bride Takes Own Life After Groom Family Said Her Wedding Dress Was Provocative

A bride had resorted to ending her own life to appease the groom family’s criticism that her wedding dress was revealing and provocative;

She took the deadly decision after she was accused of looking ‘naked’ on her wedding day because her shoulders were left uncovered.

‘My daughter’s groom and his parents caused a fight in my home because of her wedding dress,’ the bride’s father, Murad Bayramov narrated, adding: ‘My daughter couldn’t bear it and took her own life.’

It was not immediately clear whether the late bride’s religion had anything to do with the drastic action, especially against the background of the morality police stepping up the ante in societies with similar traditions.

The bereaved father has also strongly denied media reports that his daughter may have felt pressured into a wedding with an older man, Elnur Mamedli, 33.

‘After the celebration, Elnur came to our home with his parents and caused a big argument,’ Daily Mail quotes the father as saying:

‘They said: “What a disgrace. How could you let your daughter wear such a shameful, revealing wedding dress?”‘

‘We replied that it was a normal gown – the kind many brides wear. But they wouldn’t calm down and kept arguing.

‘The dispute continued the next day,’ he said.

Police are now investigating whether to launch a criminal case over the ‘bullying’ of the bride before her tragic death.

According to report, the latest incident, comes just a week after an advisor to Iran’s Ayatollah who helped organise a crackdown on anti-hijab protestors sparked outcry in Iran after letting his daughter marry in a ‘revealing’ dress.

Footage circulating on social media showed Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to Iran’s supreme leader and a member of the Expediency Council, escorting his daughter, Fatemeh, into a wedding hall at Tehran’s luxury Espinas Palace Hotel.

The bride wore a strapless white dress with a low neckline.
