Elizabeth Hurley Could Face Jail Time
Vishnu Khandelwal, who may have never met the couple, has started legal action on the grounds that the wedding defied Hindu custom.
Khandelwal is accusing Hurley of drinking alcohol and refusing to take off her shoes when she arrived at the marriage mandap(marriage place.)
Ironically the million dollar wedding pictures will be used as evidence. Pictures from Hello! and People magazine show the bride and groom kissing. Hindus don't kiss during the wedding ceremony. Prosecutor HM Saraswat says that Hurley's father-in-law Vinod Nayar is offering help with case.
The elder Nayar disowned his son and daugther-in law after last month's Indian and English nuptials. Vinod Nayer says that he and his second wife were treated as"second class citizens" at the lavish ceremonies.
Vinod Nayer believes that the couple did not think and Joanne Nayer were glamorous enough for their multi million dollar magazine deals.
"Maybe they didn't really want my side of the family there. They didn't even have the manners to invite my 87-year-old mother. I once thought Liz was a lovely, un-spoilt woman, but now I see that she is a very hard person. It was important for her to get celebrity faces there. That's what the Hello! deal was about. She was fulfilling her contractual obligation. I knew she was very ambitious, but I never realized just how desperate she is for fame and attention."
If convicted of acts against the faith Saraswat said "An arrest warrant could be issued for Arun and Liz as soon as the prosecution has made its case either because they are summonsed to give evidence or they have been found guilty."
"Vinod Nayar told me that when Arun Nayar and Liz Hurley came to the marriage mandap Arun Nayar left his footwear outside but Liz Hurley refused to remove her footwear. When we worship we just remove our shoes because we pray to God and at that time shoes should be removed."
"Our intention is to prove that the procedures adopted by both the accused for their marriage is against our Hindu rites.''
A source close to Hurley says the actress "went absolutely ballistic when she found out what Arun's family had been saying about her."
Hurley declined comment on the matter.

Post a CommentWhat will you do when a groom come naked in Church at his own marriage Ceremony? Don't you think society will discard that person?
Customs and traditions are made keeping few things in minds. Elders are not blind who made different types of customs & Traditions.
I doubt she is of that religion and she isn't really a citizen of that country, so no one should worry about Britain allowing some hidus to come and kidnap Elizabeth Hurley and jailing her..ha ha...
Interesting article. Thanks for writing it! I've spent a fair amount of time in India doing cultural research. A key when in India is to respect the customs and culture. That means having your head covered at certain times, removing your shoes at certain times, etc. Since she chose to marry a Hindu (whether she is Hindu or not), it would have been wise for her to show respect for the customs that are extremely important in that culture. It sounds like she knew (or was told) to remove her shoes, and refused to do so. Bad idea in a place that values tradition. Even so, I think that jail time is harsh!
Isn't that something. Wow.
Some wedding customs can destroy otherwise promising marriages.
Poor Elizabeth. I feel sorry for her. All she wanted was to be married.
It's news to me that Elizabeth Hurley (initially I thought of the women that did Show Girls) was even practicing the Hindu religion. Interesting account.
What happened to seperation of church and state?
I'm beginning to wonder if these two are ever going to get to enjoy their newlywed status.
Slighted in-laws or religious nuts? Hmm... Interesting situation.
