India: Man helps his 5-month old wife reunite with lover

Kanpur: A man in Kanpur who was married five months ago, helped his wife to reunite with her boyfriend.

It seems to be replay of a 1999 film Hum Dil De Chukey Sanam. However, the only variation from the Hindi film story was that the woman decided to move with her lover.

Pankaj Sharma, who serves as an accountant in a Private Company in Harayana's Gurugram married Komal in May, this year. Pankaj told reporters that his wife Komal used to maintain distance from him since their marriage.

"She neither consummated the marriage nor even talked to anyone. After being coaxed, she confided that she wanted to marry her lover Pintu," he said.

When Pankaj informed his in-laws, they tried to convince Komal but she remained unrelenting.

The matter then reached the Anti-Domestic Violence Cell and Asha Jyoti Centre where a meeting was arranged between the woman, her husband, her boyfriend and their close relatives.

Seeing that Komal was determined, Pankaj agreed and even planned their marriage.

He also arranged a lawyer to solemnise the marriage of his wife to her lover Pintu on Friday evening.

It was attended by relatives and guests from both sides.
