在印度，大部分婚姻都是父母包辦的。

An Indian bride has walked out of her wedding after her bridegroom-to-be failed to solve a simple maths problem, according to police in Uttar Pradesh.
印度北方邦警方透露，因準新郎未能解出一道簡單的算術題，印度一位新娘毅然悔婚。

The bride asked the groom to add 15 and six. When he replied 17, she called off the marriage.
這位新娘讓新郎算出15加6等于多少，新郎回答“17”。聽到答案后，新娘取消了這段婚約。

Reports say the groom's family tried to convince the bride to return, but she refused saying the man was illiterate.
有報道稱，新郎的家人力勸新娘回頭，但她斷然拒絕，稱未婚夫是個文盲。

Local police said they mediated between the families, and both sides returned all the gifts given before the wedding.
