A 31-year-old man allegedly backed out of wedding plans with a Canadian woman after they met in person.
A 61-year-old Canadian woman was left stranded in Neemrana, Rajasthan, after her partner allegedly refused to marry her because of her age, according to reports by Rediff, Times of India and News18.
The woman travelled to India on a tourist visa on November 11 to marry Nitin, a 31-year-old teacher from Panipat, Haryana, whom she had known through a dating app for approximately one year.
Nitin met the woman at the Delhi airport and took her to a flat in the BB Builders Society in Neemrana, which belongs to his maternal uncle and aunt.
After staying together for two days, an argument occurred when discussions regarding the marriage progressed and Nitin allegedly declined to proceed due to the woman's age.
The Canadian Embassy alerted the police on November 13 after the woman contacted them regarding the dispute, according to the Times of India.
Neemrana SHO Surendra Yadav said police arrived at the residential complex and took both individuals to the station for questioning.
The woman has been moved to a care centre in Kotputli, and authorities are working to facilitate her return to Canada.
Nitin was reportedly taken into custody on charges of disturbing public peace and later released on bail, while investigations continue.
