As punishment, locals shaved his head and forced him to wear a sign around his neck

After Rubana Parveen, 18, divorced Mr Ansari, she got married to Mohammed Elias, 25, later that day. Her father had already bought Mr Ansari a motorbike but he wanted a better model

The bride’s father, Bashir-ud-din Ansari, 58, who owns a hotel, had already bought him a motorbike but Muntaz wasn’t satisfied and demanded a better model.

A witness said: ‘Everyone kept telling the groom to calm down and tried convincing him to accept what he was given.

'But he kept threatening to go home without his new bride. The groom and bride’s father were arguing a lot. It was a crazy scene.’
