400 grooms stranded in Gulf amid US-Iran war has left several families in Bihar worried as wedding dates approach. Preparations are complete, but many grooms cannot return home due to travel disruptions.
In Gaya district’s Sherghati area, families booked venues, sent invitations, and arranged ceremonies. However, flights from Gulf countries face cancellations and soaring ticket prices, stopping grooms from traveling back.
Villages like Khandail and nearby areas depend heavily on workers in Gulf nations. Over 400 young men remain stuck abroad, creating uncertainty around weddings planned in March.
Families now consider postponing ceremonies or even conducting marriages online if grooms fail to arrive on time. Despite the stress, many still hope the situation improves soon.
The ongoing conflict has disrupted travel across the region, affecting thousands of migrant workers and their personal plans.
