A case has come up from Rampur district of UP, which everyone is surprised to hear! A married woman laid a condition between her husband and lover, which baffled the people of the panchayat. The incident is from Azimnagar police station area, where this woman was married to a young man from the village a year and a half ago. But after a few months of marriage, the woman’s heart came to someone else, and then a unique drama started.
It was only one and a half years for this woman’s marriage. Her husband works outside. Six months after the wedding, the woman began a love affair with a young man from the village. After this, she repeatedly left home with her lover and started running away. She was brought back several times with the efforts of the villagers and husband, but she would run away every time. Recently, she ran away with her lover for the 10th time. The husband did not give up and lodged a police complaint. The UP police recovered the woman, but what happened after that shocked everyone.
A panchayat was convened in the village to resolve the matter, in which elders and villagers from both villages attended. In the panchayat, the woman clearly stated that she could not leave her lover at any cost. She laid a peculiar condition that if the husband had no problem, she would stay with her husband 15 days a month and 15 days with her lover. Hearing this, there was silence in the panchayat, and people started staring at each other with surprise.
Hearing this unique condition of the woman, the husband was agitated. He folded his hands and said, “Now I have nothing to do with you. Stay as you want with your lover.” After this reply of the husband, the panchayat did not intervene much and allowed the woman to stay as per her will. The husband’s compulsion and the woman’s insistence made the matter a topic of discussion.
This unique incident has now become a topic of discussion in the entire village. People are talking about this in various ways. Someone is considering it as a victory of love, and someone is questioning a relationship like marriage. This case shows how difficult it can be to balance between love and marriage. The rural panchayat may intervene, but the woman’s insistence and husband’s helplessness made the story memorable.
