The groom’s father dragged the Bengaluru-based matrimony company to consumer court and alleged that he was ill-treated when questioned about their services.
The Bengaluru consumer court asked city-based matrimony company Dil Mil to pay ₹60,000 to its customer for failing to find a suitable bride for a groom. The groom’s father dragged the matrimony company to court and alleged that he was ill-treated when questioned about their services.
On October 28, Bengaluru court ordered Dil Mil to refund ₹30,000 with 6% interest and ₹20,000 as compensation for bad service.
According to a report in Deccan Herald, the court pronounced the order on October 28 by a three-member Fourth Additional District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Bengaluru, presided by Ramachandra MS.
In a complaint, the bride's father, Kumar, said that he reached out to Dil Mil after watching their social media promotion to find a suitable bride for his son Balaji in March this year. The Dil Mil team promised that within a month, they would find a bride for his son and made him pay ₹30,000 as the initial fee.

On October 28, the court ordered Dil Mil to refund ₹30,000 with 6% interest and ₹20,000 as compensation for bad service. It also ordered the company to pay another ₹5000 for causing the customer mental agony and another ₹5000 for legal proceedings.
