Lifestyle News Desk. Married with big dreams. She had a dream that she would create a happy world together with her husband. But the indifference of the husband pushed the wife towards a blind relationship. Now his life has become worse than hell. This is the case of 27 year old Sarita (name changed). Sarita had an arranged marriage three years back after completing her college studies. Husband is bank manager and posted elsewhere. On the wedding day itself, the husband shattered her hopes by saying that she was in love with someone else. That’s why she is unable to give Sarita the happiness of a husband.
Sarita said, ‘At first I thought my husband was playing a joke on me. But within a few days it became clear that he was not in love with me but someone else. I didn’t tell him because of shame and didn’t even tell my family about it. Just talked to my younger sister, she said everything will be fine in a few days but it didn’t happen. After a few months my husband was transferred to Mumbai. I thought he would take me with him but he said the city is too expensive so he would take me later. Later I came to know that my husband is living with another woman in Mumbai. Then my patience broke and I started crying. Lives with mother-in-law and father-in-law at home. Mother-in-law is paralyzed so she is lying on the bed in her room. Father in law saw me sad and asked the reason. I could not stop myself and told the whole truth and started crying. He hugged me and explained a lot, then went to his room. After that I noticed a change in his attitude. He started coming to my room again and again and behaving strangely.
At first Sarita felt that her father-in-law was constantly coming to her to please her. But it soon became clear that he had other intentions. He repeatedly tried to touch Sarita. Sometimes he must have turned his hand on the back and sometimes he must have put his hand on the shoulder. Sarita’s mother-in-law used to sleep on the bed in her room, so there was no one in the house to watch her movements.
According to Sarita, “One day the mother-in-law’s health deteriorated and she had to be admitted to the hospital. Father-in-law was also with him. But at night he came home on the pretext of some work. It was raining heavily that night and he was completely drenched. When I went to his room with tea, I was stunned. He was lying naked on the bed and moaning. He said that there is a lot of headache, apply medicine. Hesitatingly, I sat on the bed and started applying the medicine. Then suddenly he grabbed my hand and pulled me. I was shocked and confused what to do. I protested but he did not agree. He grabbed my cloak and pulled it. I turned red with shame. Then he hugged me tightly and said fulfill my need, I will never let you lack anything. I tried hard to get out of his clutches but he started misbehaving with me. After a while, I also bowed my head before his wish by lowering my hand. I calmly lay down on the bed and continued to do whatever he wanted. When I regained consciousness, everything was looted.
Sarita was not able to understand whom to tell about this. He didn’t tell anyone because of shame and shame. According to Sarita, “After that the actions of the father-in-law increased. Despite my refusal, he would wake up at night and go to my room and do whatever he wanted. I also accepted it as my destiny. One day I came to know that I was pregnant. When I told my father-in-law, he took her to a private clinic and got her aborted. Now I want to get out of this quagmire. But father-in-law keeps threatening me. He says that if I don’t listen to him, he will throw me out of the house and accuse me of being immoral. Don’t know what to do.
Expert opinion- It seems from your incident that you too have supported your father-in-law in this wrongdoing. If you had protested strongly in the beginning, they would never have done such an act. You could have told the truth to your mother-in-law. If you had told the reality of your father-in-law to the family members, they would never have allowed you to stay there. Even when your husband left you, you bowed your head and accepted the decision. Neither protested nor took support of the law. Whether your husband is having an affair with another woman or not, you did not even try to know the truth. However, if all this has actually happened against your will and you are being blackmailed, then it is completely wrong legally. It would be better if you talk to your parents without delay and inform them about the activities of your father-in-law. When in doubt, tell the whole story to your sister and seek the help of the police. Neither can you be ill-treated by your in-laws nor can you be thrown out of the house against your will. If you show strict attitude and follow the path of law, then even your father-in-law will not dare to take any wrong step.
