A Massachusetts man whose family traveled all the way to India to check out a possible bride for his son is suing the womans relatives because she was too ugly and unpolished for his baby boy.
In his lawsuit, Dr. Vijai Pandey of Belchertown claims his wife, son and daughter were shocked to discover the Indian woman was ugly with dark complexion and protruded bad teeth and couldnt speak English to carry on conversation.
Pandey then called off the arranged marriage, according to the lawsuit posted on the Web site thesmokinggun.com
I felt cheated, really, and there was no remorse from the other side, like it was our mistake, Pandey told the Herald yesterday. I felt taken advantage of.
The Pandey family were good friends with a couple from Maryland, Lallan and Kanti Giri, who suggested that Pandeys 37-year-old son, Pranjul Kumar Pandey, propose to their niece, Savita Giri, according to the lawsuit. Savita Giri lives in India.
The Giris said it would be a great family favor because Savitas father had died and her family was struggling, the lawsuit said.
Pandey pointed out that his youngest son was extremely handsome had a fair complexion and spoke English. Pandey said in the lawsuit that he was assurred compensation if Savita wasnt beautiful and suitable, the lawsuit claims.
Pandey made numerous calls to the womans mother and sent her money for Savitas passport and other expenses, the suit claims.
In the lawsuit, Pandey claims the Giris sent him a picture of Savita but he couldnt tell much about Savitas complexion and beauty from it.
Pandey said the Giris reassured that Savita was beautiful and suitable and they take full responsibility.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......However, ugly on the other hand is like a sharp stick in the eye of the beholder.

If Pranjul is 37 and still single, I can't believe he is much interested in women anyway.

"If Pranjul is 37 and still single, I can't believe he is much interested in women anyway." Yeah, there must be something wrong with a guy if he's not dumb enough to give up his freedoms and shackle himself to the ball and chain early in life.

Gotta watch those deals where you can't see the bride before the deed.
This insert from the "Al Queda Mail Order Bride" catalog at least lends some honesty to the process.

In the complaint the plaintiff states, "After Lallan went to work with Bio Port, he started show boating, boasting with "Beamer" (BMW), Mansion and acting as a big shot in a different class." Priceless!
What would Joe Biden say?

That's a fake photo, they're not wearing burkas, and everyone knows they're attracted to goats and camels.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
Doing the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
Then you will be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
So if your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly her eyes don't match
Take it from me she's a better catch
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Say kid yes
I saw your wife the other day, uu huh
And she's ugly
Ha ha but she sure can cook
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
