From theage.com:
AN Indian court will hear testimony this week that British model Elizabeth Hurley and her husband Arun Nayar mocked Hindu traditions with their "showcase" wedding.
An angry Jodhpur resident is taking legal action against the couple after seeing pictures of their lavish wedding in Hello! magazine, which reportedly paid $A4.82 million to cover the event exclusively.
Vishnu Khandelwal, a devout Hindu, said he was upset when he saw Hurley and Mr Nayar drinking alcohol before the ceremony and kissing near a sacred fire. "They sat on a sofa and they were supposed to sit on the floor," Mr Khandelwal said.
His petition to the court, which will decide whether or not to prosecute, also pointed out that Hurley wore leather footwear near the fire, in a land that worships the cow.
Indian law makes it a crime to "outrage" any group's religion with "deliberate and malicious intention".
Talk about the in laws disapproving.... poor Elizabeth... she finally gets a guy who wants to marry her and then we have the "stories of the outrageous".
Poor thing... we have a feeling if the couple were close to broke there would be less protest or notice...
Toodles.
