  • Groom slaps bride during wedding

    A video of a groom who brutally slapped his bride at their wedding has prompted outrage on social media.

     

    The man is alleged to have become enraged when his bride defeated him in a game during their wedding reception.

     

    The new couple was on stage during their wedding reception, which was held in Uzbekistan, when the toastmaster made them take part in a competition.

     

    The bride won the game, and when the groom realized he had lost, he aggressively whacked her in the back of the head with his hand.

     

    Mystified, the bride put her hand to her head, before she lifted her white wedding dress from the floor and was led off the stage by two other women.

     

    As if nothing had happened, the groom stood on the stage, peering out across the silent throng that had been cheering the pair on seconds before.
