  • Showing excess flesh in her Indian garb.
  • Kissing during the ceremony, which is against Hindu culture.
  • Drinking alcohol before the wedding.
  • Elizabeth not removing her shoes during the ceremony.

Liz and Arun could face arrest charges of a “deliberate and malicious act” against the religion.

However, the wedding woes don’t end there for the couple.

The lavish ceremony also has left her new father-in-law lashing out against the couple, according to reports.

“Liz and Arun have treated us very shabbily. I feel that Liz and Arun behaved shamefully and placed more importance on showing off than their own family,” Arun’s father, Vinod Nayer, was quoted as saying in Britain’s Sunday Mirror.

Additionally, the Mirror reports Nayer has “cut all ties” to the newlyweds and has gone as far as to disown his son.
