AHMEDABAD: A 40-year-old woman from Naranpura has filed a police complaint stating that her husband intensified his assaults on her after they failed to get an extension of their UK visas.
The complaint was filed with Women’s Police (West) on Tuesday. She said her torment became more severe when they had to leave London.
She told police that she married in 2004 and settled in Vadodara with her husband and in-laws. She said that her husband used to abuse her if she tried to pacify the members of her in-law’s family when they quarreled among themselves. She said that she was assaulted by him regularly.
In 2008, after the birth of her daughter she went to London. Later, her husband joined her in London, bringing their daughter along. The woman said her husband used to beat her in London too.
In September 2009, the couple had to return to India as their visas were not extended. Her husband held her responsible for that. After returning to India, the complainant went to her father’s home in Mumbai and sent a notice to her husband.
But her in-laws mollified her and the couple started living together again.
In 2013, she said her husband pressured her to have another child. In 2015, she gave birth to a boy. The complainant stated that her husband, who was running tuition classes, forced her to work with him even when she was pregnant.
The complainant said that on Monday her husband abused and beat her again. Her daughter called the husband’s sister. The woman later went to her sister-in-law’s home where her husband arrived and thrashed her yet again.
The complainant said that she then went to her sister’s home in Ahmedabad. Eventually, she filed a police complaint.
