Dowry case against husband who married off wife to her lover
Tags:
A few days after a husband accepted his newly-wedded wife as his sister and decided to reunite her with her old lover, the woman has accused the husband of harassing her for dowry.
"Aarti today (Wednesday) said that Nitish is her husband and whatever happened earlier was under pressure and accused him and his family members of harassing her for dowry," DIG Meerut Prem Prakash said.
"If her allegations are found true then a legal action will be initiated against Nitish and his family," he said.
"Aarti's family members say that they had already spent Rs12 lakh on her marriage and later Nitish and his family started demanding a car. When the demand was not met they started harassing her," the DIG said.
Nitish accepted Aarti, whom he had married on May 6, as his sister after she told him about her affair with Vineet on the night of their marriage. When Aarti told her new husband that she had already married Vineet a few days back, Nitish decided to reunite the two lovers.
Aarti and Nitish were invited by the district administration at the family counselling centre here on Sunday to sort out the issue but they turned down the suggestion of experts to live together again, saying that it was not possible as both of them had accepted each other as brother and sister. Aarti had then decided to go back to her parents' house.
