Taking cognizance of Aalam’s contentions, the judges directed a lady police officer of Bhiwandi police to record the statements of Sita and ascertain if she desires to continue living with Aalam as his wife. Accordingly, the statements were recorded in which Sita specifically stated that she wanted to continue to cohabit with Aalam. She also stated that her parents were no longer interested in taking care of her and her eight month old child.
