A 26-year-old woman has filed a harassment complaint against her husband and in-laws, alleging that she was body shamed and made to exercise for over three hours daily. She also said she was pregnant and her husband allegedly forced a miscarriage. She further accused her in-laws of harassing her for dowry.
Police said the woman approached a Mahila Thana this week to file the complaint. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ghaziabad, Dhawal Jaiswal, said an FIR has been registered against the woman’s husband and her in-laws.
The FIR includes BNS sections of dowry harassment, intentional humiliation and abortion. “The investigation is underway and police are checking all the allegations,” the DCP said.
According to the complaint, the woman got married on March 6. Her husband is a teacher at a government school.
In her complaint to the police on August 14, the woman alleged that her husband was interested in other women and often watched objectionable photos and videos of them on Instagram and YouTube. “He told me that his life was ruined because of me, and he could get an extremely beautiful woman who looked like (Bollywood actor) Nora Fatehi,” she alleged in her complaint.
The woman further alleged in her complaint that her husband and in-laws forced her to work out for three hours daily — and if she failed to do so, they would keep her hungry for several days.
“It was an arranged marriage… My parents gifted jewellery worth Rs 16 lakh, a top variant Mahindra Scorpio worth Rs 24 lakh, and Rs 5 lakh in cash,” she said.
Despite such expenses, she alleged she was harassed by her in-laws for more dowry, the complaint read.
The woman also alleged that her husband gave her an abortion pill without her knowledge, forcing a miscarriage. “Two months ago, I found out that I was pregnant. I shared this with my mother-in-law, who showed no interest. One day, my husband gave me a pill…,” she alleged in her complaint.
After she fell sick, she said her in-laws dropped her off at her parents’ house. When her health deteriorated, she was admitted to a hospital where doctors informed her about the miscarriage, she alleged in the complaint.
Her in-laws allegedly did not allow her to enter their home after this.
The woman claimed she later looked up the pill online and discovered it was for inducing an abortion.
The following day, the Delhi Police would apprehend the boy on the basis of the woman's complaint (Source: File)
