Spurned Husband Goes To Cops Saying Wife Married Her Son From First Marriage, Stole Money

A man in India has approached the police with a bizarre complaint saying his wife married her son from a previous marriage and fled with his money.

The incident happened in Udham Singh Nagar, a city in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, and a complainant is a middle-aged man identified only by his first name Indraram, India Today reported.

Indraram was married to the woman, identified by her first name Babli, for the past 11 years, and the couple has three children. Babli married Indraram after leaving her first husband, with whom she has two sons.

Indraram claimed that one of Babli's sons from her first marriage started visiting his house frequently and is now married to his wife. He accused the duo fled from his house after taking around $260 (INR 20,000), Times Now News reported.

Meanwhile, it is unclear if the woman's son is a minor and his identity has not been revealed. The police said they have started an investigation into the incident.

According to the incest law in India, close blood relations are prohibited from marrying each other. Under the law, a man cannot marry a mother, daughter, son's or daughter's daughter, and all such relations where the marrying pair is closely connected with blood. Marriages between descendants from a common ancestor but by different wives, or descendants from a common ancestress but by different husbands also come under the prohibited degree of relationship.

A man in Germany who has four children with his mentally disabled sister claimed recently that the incest law in the country violated his human right to have a family life. The 44-year-old man, identified as Patrick Stuebing, was convicted multiple times for his sexual relationship with his biological sister Susan Karolewski. The pair developed a relationship after Stuebing who got adopted at the age of three from an abusive household met Karolewski after 20 years. Although two out of their four children are severely disabled, they deny the accusations that it was because of their incest relationship.
