It is further alleged that, after the marriage, the deceased resided with her in-laws. According to the complainant, about one-and-a-half months after the marriage, his daughter informed him that her husband was neither a civil engineer nor employed as represented prior to the marriage.
The complainant alleged that the groom's family had falsely represented that the groom was a civil engineer, possessed substantial property and was running a business, and that the marriage was solemnised on the basis of these alleged misrepresentations.
The complaint further alleged that the husband repeatedly demanded a flat. The complainant also alleged that his daughter informed him that her jewellery had been taken into the custody of her in-laws.
Allegations Of Abuse And Harassment
Further, the complainant's daughter allegedly informed him that her husband frequently abused and physically assaulted her while under the influence of alcohol and repeatedly demanded money from her.
Whenever she refused, he allegedly assaulted her. It is further alleged that her in-laws also assaulted the complainant's daughter because she used to disclose these incidents to her parents.
The complainant further alleged that, in November 2022, the husband forcibly terminated his daughter's pregnancy against her wishes by administering abortion pills. The complainant stated that he met his daughter in February 2023 and found her to be distressed, whereupon he attempted to console her.
Suicide Reported In February 2023
According to the complaint, on February 24, 2023, the complainant received a telephone call from his daughter's husband informing him that his wife had allegedly hanged herself and had been taken to hospital.
Upon reaching the hospital, the complainant allegedly noticed visible injury marks on her cheek and neck and suspected that she had been physically assaulted by her in-laws.
