In another domestic violence incident, a 27-year-old woman from Ognaj in Ahmedabad contacted Sola police on Tuesday, accusing her husband of assaulting her on suspicion of infidelity.
The victim filed a domestic violence complaint, alleging that her husband had assaulted her and suspected her affair with her maternal uncle and cousin.
The victim was a swap marriage, according to a report published in the Times of India (TOI). While she married a man from Dethli village in Bechraji taluka in Mehsana on February 22, 2015, her brother married her husband’s sister.
Victim tells ordeal
According to reports from TOI, the victim said in her complaint: “Seven months after the wedding, my husband and parents-in-law started bothering me about little things. My husband didn’t have a job, and when I asked him for money, he would beat me and tell me to get money from my parents. Since I married under the barter system, I kept my mother for the sake of my brother.”
She claimed to have been abandoned by her husband and has stayed at her parents’ home since the birth of their daughter in 2016.
However, following the intervention of community elders, her husband took her back in December 2018.
But she claimed that even after she returned home, her husband beat her black and blue for suspecting her affair with her maternal uncle and cousin.
Out of helplessness, she finally moved back to her parents’ house in August 2021.
