Priest advises and bride cancels wedding after groom imposes demands in MG

Not every hero wears a cape. It was using a cassock that Chrystian Shankar, a priest from the Diocese of Divinópolis (MG), avoided a probable disaster between a couple in the interior of Minas Gerais. After identifying bad signs in the relationship, he advised a bride to end the relationship, and she followed his advice.

The wedding was canceled after the intervention of a priest who advised the bride about the conditions imposed by her partner for the union.

The case gained repercussion after the priest's report on the couple's dynamics during the period of confession and preparation for marriage.

List of demands
According to Chrystian Shankar, the woman presented the parish priest with a list of 13 items written by her fiancé, containing behaviors that she must change in order for him to accept marriage.

"I said: 'My daughter, open your eyes while there's still time. It's clear that it won't work'", revealed the priest.

When asked about the compensation, the bride informed that the man stated that he did not need any changes in his own conduct.

The religious man, who worked at the Nossa Senhora Aparecida Parish, identified an imbalance in the relationship and warned the faithful about the lack of reciprocity.

Cancelation of the ceremony
After dialogue with the priest, the celebration was not held. The priest stated that his guidance aimed to clarify the reality of the relationship, which he considered to be guided by arrogance on the part of the groom.

"I didn't end anything, no. I opened the eyes of the deluded", he ponders.

Despite criticism from the bride's family, the cleric defended his stance of warning the woman before the bond was finalized. For him, the cancellation represented a release for the faithful.

"The marriage didn't happen. She got rid of one", he concluded.

CNN Brasil contacted the Diocese of Divinópolis and Father Shankar for a position on the case. The space remains open.
