MAKKAH, 11 August 2005 — When most people express their joy and happiness at a wedding by dancing and singing, one newly-wed’s family faced a different situation. Al-Madinah newspaper reported that the police were called to a wedding hall in Makkah because of a fight between the families of the bride and groom. The bride’s family had refused to hand the bride over to her husband, and this led to harsh words which in turn led to an actual fight.
