A domestic violence case emerged in Ahmedabad’s Bodakdev area, where a 31-year-old woman registered a complaint against her husband on Sunday. The complaint mentions that she sustained physical and emotional abuse spanning multiple countries over several years.
Megha (name changed), residing in Bodakdev with her mother and two children, got married in 2003.
Her complaint mentions the accounts of incidents that occurred across their multiple residences in Jharkhand, Mumbai, Dubai, and Bahrain thereafter.
The alleged abuse escalated following interventions from her mother-in-law. It also intensified during both of her pregnancies, despite her health conditions.
She was also forced to perform household duties while unwell and faced continuous mental abuse, reads her complaint.
The situation reportedly deteriorated in 2016 during their stay in Dubai, where Megha claims her husband began neglecting her and their children. The complaint also includes allegations of physical assault following her discovery of his alleged extramarital relationship.
When Megha returned to Ahmedabad with her children in 2023, her husband followed them to her maternal house, the complaint states. He also continued insulting her and causing mental torture.
The situation escalated during their trip to Jharkhand, where her husband reportedly barred her from entering their house and refused to let her meet their children. She has also alleged being dragged out of the house.
Unable to endure the torment inflicted upon her, Megha filed a complaint with the Ahmedabad Mahila Crime Branch.
The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
A thorough investigation has been launched to probe all the allegations levied by Megha.
