This is the moment a newlywed husband slaps his wife in front of shocked guests at a wedding ceremony.

The clip, believed to have been captured in Central Asia, shows the groom angrily lashing out at his bride after she teased him by pretending to take his wedding cake away.

He hits the unnamed woman with such force that she stumbles backwards on to a seat behind her.

A man standing behind the groom grabs him while one of the shocked guests comforts the bride as she stands back up.

The footage starts by showing a woman lifting the bride's face veil before the groom feeds her a piece of cake.

But on returning the favour, she playfully pulls the piece of cake away from his mouth at the last second.

He reacts with rage and slaps the bride across the face, knocking her backwards.

Social media users slammed the unnamed man's behaviour online with one saying: 'That guy needs to be taught a lesson in human rights and the woman needs to file for an annulment, ASAP!'

Another added: 'I hope she never went through with the wedding.'

It is not clear exactly when or where the footage was taken, but some on social media speculated that it was captured in a Central Asian country.

Bizarrely, it is not the first time a video has emerged showing a groom lashing out having been taunted with wedding cake.

Three years ago a similar video emerged, showing a violent groom slapping his new wife’s hand away as she tried to feed him during their ceremony.

The video, which commentators claimed was shot in the Middle East, is said to have been taken just 15 minutes after the couple said 'I do'.

The man is seen feeding the woman some cake with a spoon as music plays in the background. But when it comes to her turn to spoon-feed the groom, she teases him by repeatedly pulling the spoon away.

At this point her new husband sees red and smacks her arm away in annoyance.

The clip - again, filmed in an unspecified location - ends with him looking angry and her looking upset.

Some viewers found the clip entertaining, but many of the comments on the video expressed concern for the woman's future welfare.

A separate clip of a similar situation emerged in 2015. Once again, a bride offered up a fork full of cake before withdrawing it from her groom's mouth at the last moment.

The bride laughed innocently as she performed the prank, but was left stunned when her newlywed husband kicked out and slammed the food offering to the floor.
