University of Lahore couple that went viral for their unique proposal got expelled for it as well on 14th March. In a largely circulated video, it appeared that a young woman was down on her knees proposing to a young man and then both proceeded to embrace each other. The University of Lahore (UOL) is one of the biggest universities in Pakistan located in Lahore, Punjab.
The incident caused a massive uproar in extremely conservative Pakistan, where a couple’s public display of affection became a horrible crime. The institution also decided to expel the love birds for violating unspecified rules. Reportedly, the institution called the couple for the question and they did not appear which led to expulsion. The couple refused to apologize for their actions.
