There is a general belief that regardless of how important the institution of marriage is, it is not for everybody.
This belief was strengthened when a rather disturbing video surfaced, showing a groom slapping his new bride barely hours after they got married.
In the video which is currently circulating on the internet, the couple who appeared to be Asians were carrying out the traditional first cutting and eating of cake.
The bride who perhaps wanted to have a bit of fun, teased her groom with the cake by taking it back and forth from his mouth.
Rather than laugh it off like the guests expected, he struck her hard across the cheek, so hard that the force pushed her down.
"Probably yet another forced marriage! poor girl ! she must be heading to a life of sorrow and pain she must be heading into. Probably trapped forever from the fear of leaving this beast!" lamented one social media user.
Not only was the bride shocked, the guests present at the occasion were also stunned especially due to the fact the groom remained unapologetic about his actions.
The video which has since gone viral on social media caused major outrage among many people.
" Watched the video and it was very annoying, if man can do this to his newly wedded wife, what will happen in next few months or years. This should be the quickest divorce in history," wrote one of the netizens.
"I'd be a widow right at that point, my 'shocked wedding guest' and dad would have killed the little low life," wrote another one.
