Physically-challenged woman files dowry complaint

Brother you need help from Men's NGO as your ugly wife needs to be divorced, she is alleging false dowry case on you.

AHMEDABAD: A physically-challenged woman Swati Gupta, who stays in Navrangpura has registered a complaint of dowry harassment against her husband and father-in law. 

According to Swati's complaint, she had met her husband Vipin through the internet. Vipin too suffers from physical disability. The couple fell in love, met and decided to marry with consent of both their respective families. 

That was three years back. But, the lovemarriage soon turned sour. Swati, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, claims that Vipin used to often harass her for dowry. She has claimed in her complaint that he used to abuse and beat her too. 

According to her complaint, three months back Swati was driven out of home by her husband, over an unfulfilled dowry demand. The girl went to UP and was later brought back to Ahmedabad by her father Viren Saxena. 

Saxena had tried to reason with Vipin but to no avail. Swati alleged that Vipin had beatedn her up in the presence of the maid who did household chores. 

However, the couple resumed staying together and the pressure on Swati mounted. A month earlier, Swati had tried to commit suicide by consuming poison. The maid spotted this and rushed her to a hospital on time. 

On Wednesday morning, according to Swati's police statement, Vipin again beat her up. After this Swati approached the Navrangpura police and registered a complaint of dowry against her husband and father-in-law.
