A Jordanian groom called off his engagement after his father-in-law asked him for a six-month salary statement and a police clearance certificate.
"Am I applying for a loan?" the man reportedly said to the father during the ensuing verbal altercation, which led him to withdraw his marriage proposal and walk away.
He described his father-in-law's demands as "unusual and excessive".
The incident went viral on Jordanian social media, sparking divisive opinions on both sides.
