AHMEDABAD: A 29-year-old woman from the Walled City area lodged an unusual complaint at Danlimda police station against her husband and in-laws on Sunday. She alleged that her husband had concealed his homosexuality and same sex marriage in the UK. She also alleged that he suffered from a sexually transmitted disease and had hidden this at the time of their wedding.

Inspector V R Vasava of Danilimda police station said the accused is on the run. “The woman has submitted social media photographs of her husband’s same-sex marriage ,” Vasava said.

In the FIR, the woman has accused her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law.

A police source said the accused had wed the woman in November 2019. Even after eight days of the wedding when her husband refused to consummate the marriage, the woman talked to her husband’s parents who took her husband to a hospital and did a medical check-up. “She has alleged that she was not informed of the result of the tests and when she inquired her in-laws and husband harassed her mentally and physically,” said the police source.

Even after the check-up her husband refused cohabitation, which increased the suspicions of the woman. She told her elder sister about the situation, but she told her that such things happened during the early days of marriage.

“When 25 days had gone by, she told her husband that she will talk to her parents. Her husband scolded her and continued to refuse to consummate the marriage,” an investigator said.

With suspicions about her husband’s sexual inclinations mounting, she checked his mobile phone. “She was shocked to find photos of her husband showing his homosexuality. She transferred the photos to her phone,” a police source said.

When she confronted her husband with the photos, he became agitated and admitted he had already married a Nigerian man at in the UK and that his parents knew about it.

The FIR says that after a few days her husband developed ulcers in his mouth. He was treated by different doctors, but his condition kept worsening.

On January 10, the woman’s parents asked her husband and learned he is also suffering from sexually transferred diseases (STD).
