His revelation has sparked mixed reactions by other Twitter users. Some of them have expressed support for the bride’s action while others condemned the groom but were quick to say that the lady went too far.
@VieArr: "Don’t ever stay in a violent relationship but in my opinion, that decision was a bit drastic. Wedding night and he’s under the influence of alcohol, at least it should be a bit difficult for her to make that decision. On the other hand, it might not be the first time."
@hypemanoscar: "Are they both mad or something? They blew time and resources planning the wedding, spent money sewing outfits, took themselves there and now they end it in less than 10 hours."
@Mickyiv4: "It might be the first time or not but most importantly, it wasn't going to be the last so she did the right thing. Just leave whenever violence comes in at any point; early, middle or later."
@Grace_undiluted: "Alcohol doesn't make you a monster, it brings out the monster in you. It helps you express your true self without you subduing yourself. She did the right thing. It might be the first time but it's not going to be the last if she stays. violence shouldn't be condoned."
