CHENNAI: Confronted with the possibility of divorce on the grounds of impotence, a 32-year-old man from Hyderabad made a pornographic video with another woman and sent a five-minute clip of the recording to his wife's father and aunt to disprove the charge belittling his manhood.

The bizarre attempt to hit back at his estranged wife did not go down well with anybody. Police arrested Vibavasu, a resident of Lal Bahadur Nagar in Hyderabad, on a complaint by his wife Anusha's family, and a court sent him to jail.

Vibavasu married Anusha of Muthamizh Nagar, Kodungaiyur, in 2016, in a marriage arranged by Anusha's parents, said inspector D Chithra of the MKB Nagar all-women police.

"The couple lived together for just 15 days before separating. Anusha returned to her parents' home, but both families kept up attempts at reconciliation for some time," the inspector said. "But Anusha had made up her mind and applied for divorce in a family court. She stated that her husband was impotent. Vibavasu soon learned the reason Anusha had provided and was infuriated."

"Vibavasu then hit upon the idea of disproving his wife's charge by getting a woman to act with him in a pornographic video," the inspector said. "It appears that a third person shot the video."

In turns shocked and scandalized when they received the clip by phone, Anusha's father and aunt in Chennai lodged a police complaint.

During questioning by investigators, Vibavasu admitted to making the recording and sending the clip to the complainants. Police charged him under IT Act with harassment, unsolicited transmission of an obscene video, and for making unwelcome sexual remarks.

Investigating officers interviewed the couple separately. Anusha and Vibavasu said they argued incessantly during the short period they were together. Vibavasu said they did not consummate the marriage.

"They were not on good terms even before they got married," the inspector said. "Their parents were not aware of this and went ahead with the wedding."
