Solution
Bishamber Nath was a rich man who had a big shop, his own house and several thousand in the bank. Bholi's parents agreed to make Bholi marry him because of these reasons. He did not even ask for dowry. Her mother thought that Bholi was lucky to get such a well-to-do bridegroom.
Bholi refused to marry Bishamber because after seeing her pock-marked face, he demanded five thousand from her father to marry her. Bholi did not want to marry a greedy, mean and contemptible coward for a husband and therefore calls off the wedding.
