Amroha 'one groom three brides' video proven fake, experts flag bigamy issues

A video circulating online showed three sisters in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, appearing to marry the same man, prompting widespread debate on social media. Police and the Child Welfare Committee opened an inquiry after concerns that one of the girls might be a minor. The participants later confirmed that the footage was staged as a prank to boost views, and no actual marriage took place.

Legal analysts explained that under the Hindu Marriage Act and Indian criminal law, a man cannot be legally married to more than one living woman at the same time; such a union would be considered bigamy and is punishable. While the incident was ultimately a fabricated social‑media stunt, it sparked discussion about personal freedom versus statutory marriage provisions in India.
