“He is not man enough to assume his responsibilities. He is totally, completely insensitive.

“Nobody has forced him to marry her. He should have insisted on seeing her before the wedding and the engagement, and not wait until the wedding night”.

“May he always be a loser and may he be deprived of getting married at all. He is not a man and he lacks basic feelings,”  the comments continued.
