AHMEDABAD: A 23-year-old woman from Mehsana has filed an FIR of criminal breach of trust against her husband stating that he had hidden his caste and got married with her, claiming to a Brahmin The woman – Ekta Patel, a resident of Adivada village of Bechraji taluka of Mehsana — stated before Shahpur that she got married to a man on April 23 after he told her that his surname is Mehta and he is a Brahmin. But later when they went to register their marriage, the woman came to know that her husband’s surname was Khamar and he was not a Brahmin.“After I have done my MCom in April last year, I was in dire need of a job as my family’s financial condition was not good. At that time, I approached one gas agency for a vacant post of an accountant where owner of the firm, Jyotsna Mehta, appointed me at a monthly salary of Rs 5,000. Meanwhile, I came into contact with Jyotsna Mehta’s son Yash who told me that they are Brahmins,” said Patel. “As we started meeting each other, we fell in love. I decided to get married to him because he was also a Savarna (upper caste) like me. On April 23 this year, we got married according to the Hindu rituals and the marriage was conducted by a Purohit (Hindu priest) at Sterling Centre in Khanpur. Later, we got registered our marriage at the marriage registrar at AMC’s Shahpur office,” added Patel.She further stressed, “After we got settled at our house, I came to know one day that Yash’s surname was Khamar. I also enquired about the surname Khamar and found that it was not a Brahmin surname. Yash had hidden his caste and breached my trust as he lied to me that he was a Brahmin.”Patel later told her parents about this who accompanied her to police station and filed a complaint against Khamar. Sociologists Gaurang Jani said that Khamar, who are also known as Kachhiya, comes under the general category, “They have also been trying to be listed under the OBC category,” he added.
