A heart-wrenching story of a Facebook love affair that ended in heartbreak and betrayal has left a young woman from Jharkhand heartbroken and fleeing for her life. The man who fell in love with her on Facebook, married her in a temple, and brought her to his home in Uttar Pradesh denied knowing her moments after their wedding, saying she didn't meet his expectations and that he had been tricked into the marriage.
The woman, who has since returned to her home, says she has missed her period and is fearing for her life. This case highlights a tragic and frightening aspect of India, where 'marriage by deception' still occurs, and women are denied basic rights and respect. The woman, Priya, from the outskirts of Ranchi, Jharkhand, met a man named Rahul through Facebook.
Their online friendship deepened, and they decided to meet in person. Priya, unaware of the custom of the groom's family visiting the bride's home to ask for her hand in marriage, suggested they marry. According to Priya, Rahul agreed and visited her family home. However, instead of asking for her hand in marriage, he asked for her hand in the marriage, which was accepted by Priya's family, and the couple married in a temple in Jharkhand.
But when Priya reached Rahul's home in Uttar Pradesh, his family denied knowing her and claimed that Rahul had been tricked into the marriage. Priya has since returned to her home, where she lives with her parents and two siblings. She shared that she is afraid of the consequences and feels heartbroken. She has missed her period and is seeking medical help.
In addition to the emotional trauma, there are also financial implications. Priya's father, a daily wage worker, spent all his savings on the marriage ceremony and is now burdened by debt. This case highlights the importance of understanding the customs and traditions of the respective families before marriage. It also emphasizes the need for education and awareness regarding women's rights and empowerment.
It is crucial to ensure that no woman is forced into a marriage without her consent and that every individual is respected and treated with dignity. Unfortunately, this sad case is not isolated. Across India, thousands of women are tricked into marriage or forced to marry complete strangers, often becoming victims of sexual violence and abuse.
