Girl’s family call off marriage on finding boy’s poor CIBIL score

STC NEWS MONITORING DESK
FEBRUARY 08 (STC): Incredible! But true. A poor credit score, commonly known as CIBIL score, has cost marriage to a person.
The incident came to light In Murtizapur area of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The girl’s family called off the wedding when they discovered that the boy had a poor CIBIL score.
According to Mint a report by The Times of India suggests that one Maharashtrian family cancelled a wedding on discovering that the matrimonial prospect of their daughter is deep in debt and, therefore, they had a reason to believe that he was not financially sound. They came to realise this upon checking his CIBIL score.
The above mentioned report suggests that the marriage talks were in the final stages and both the families were on the verge of finalising the wedding when the girl’s uncle suggested that the prospective groom’s credit score should be checked into. But when they saw the credit score, they realised that the boy had taken multiple loans and was deep in debt.
His poor score reflected that there were defauts and/or late payment of previous loans. As a result, the uncle suggested that the wedding should be called off because the boy’s financial condition was not sound, at least this is what the credit score reflected.
