Bizarre! Man Finds Out His Estranged Wife Is Now Married To His Own Father Through An RTI

I don’t know if it’s just my Instagram, or Instagram in general, but my feed is filled with marriage updates. Wherever you look there are absurd stories of marriages coming in from all around the country. And more often than not I am amazed at how some of these stories even happen.  I mean they are so random and bizarre that my curiosity has most definitely kicked in. And I’m pretty sure, I’m not the only one.

Recently, a 22-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh found that his wife has actually married his 48-year-old father who is a sanitation worker. He found out about this marriage using the Right to Information Act (RTI). 

The son and his then-wife were minors when they got married in 2016 and within six months, due to some domestic dispute, they separated. From their marriage, they also had a two-year-old son.

The 22-year-old man wanted to salvage their marriage and wanted to reconcile with the woman, but she was sure about getting separated and getting a divorce. Her sticking to her guns about the marriage and not wanting to go back raised the son’s suspicions and that is when he filed for an RTI. He was in for a shock when he discovered that his father had run away and was now living somewhere else. What was, even more shocking, is that his wife had fallen in love with her father-in-law and they got married. And they were together living in Sambhal town in Uttar Pradesh.

After the son found out about the marriage, he filed a complaint against them with Bisauli police station. The Sub-Inspector Rajendra Prasad who’s working the case said that “The son filed an RTI at District Panchayati Raj Office to collect information about his father and found the latter had married his own estranged wife. He filed the RTI after his father stopped giving him money and was living separately in Sambhal.”

The case has been labeled as a ‘matrimonial discord’. The loophole in the case is that since both – the man and the woman – had married when they were minors and that there are no documents supporting their marriage. And even though the case is still getting investigated, the wife has stated that she is extremely happy in her new marriage.
