Mohan and May decided to get married. They planned to have their marriage solemnised and registered in the year 2018. They would hold their customary wedding ceremony in mid-2019 before they begin living together as man and wife. By then, their new matrimonial home would be ready for them to move into. In the meantime, they would continue to reside with their respective parents as they have always done.

Everything went according to plan at first. They registered their marriage on 21 January 2018. They bought a small flat and had it renovated by June 2018. As they had differing opinions about the customary wedding ceremony details, such as venue, number of tables, etc., they decided to postpone the ceremony for a year. In the meantime, Mohan went overseas on a job assignment. When he returned, May sensed that he was cold and distant. Mohan evaded the issue of the customary wedding ceremony every time May brought up the subject.

One day, May confronted him and asked him why he kept putting it off. Mohan then confessed that he did not want the marriage anymore. He said that he was not willing to go through with the ceremony, or to live with her as his wife.
