Addiction can be dangerous. Overdoing anything can create major problems in our life and if it is alcohol then there is no looking back. Alcohol and drug are the two major issues that can ruin ones life. People start abusing it as casual fun but when the fun turns into addiction is hard to judge.

Recently a girl in northern India took a bold step by refusing to marry an alcoholic groom whom her parents had chosen for her. This is a true example of women empowerment. Forced arranged marriages are common back here and India and this poor girl had to give in to her parents demand to marry the guy of their choice. The girl reluctantly agreed and the venue was set.
The wedding venue was lit up and the bride got into the best outfit she could afford and was waiting for the groom when he arrived to the venue in inebriated state. He was unable to stand without support and looked wasted. The girl still gave him time, but when he was unable to perform the rituals she called it quits. She left the venue and told the relatives that she couldn't marry the guy. The groom's family tried coaxing her parents to get her back, but I guess, her parents realised their mistake and refused to take forward the alliance.
The guy was not allowed to leave the venue before returning things they had take from the bride's family as dowry. I hope the guy has given up alcohol if not then he should give up his dream of getting married.
