> A video showing a man beating his son-in-law with slippers for demanding dowry right after the wedding has gone viral online, Malaysia Nanban reported.
The incident was reported to have taken place in Chennai, Tami Nadu, a few days ago.
In the video, the groom started throwing a tantrum outside the wedding hall, demanding a dowry of a new motorbike if he was to bring his new wife home.
The bride’s family was seen trying to calm him down, but when he refused, the bride’s father took off his slipper and started beating the groom with it.
