Liz's wedding drama continues

The drama surrounding Liz Hurley's extravagant Indian wedding is still not over.After a seven-day wedding marathon that included sacred fires, white horses and a major fight between locals, Liz and her Indian born husband Arun Nayar now face legal proceedings.A court in India has accepted a petition by Hindu radicals alleging the couple had breached the sanctity of ancient Hindu rituals during their lavish wedding celebrations.They claim that because the couple had a Christian wedding at Sudley castle in Gloucestershire first, they were not actually eligible for a Hindu marriage in India.The petition was filed by local man Vishnu Khandelwal, his Lawyer Hastimal Saraswat said: "This is the first ever case in India where a couple already married has gone through another marriage."The couple has, through their act, been trying to canvass the spread of Christianity and utilising the Hindu marriage have hurt people's sentiments. This is a punishable offence," he said.© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
