Ahmedabad, April 12: In a bizarre incident, a man has dragged his wife of 10 years to court alleging "rape". The man approached a local court and filed a rape case against his spouse after the police did not register his case. The man took this step after he learned that his wife was already married to someone else when they took nuptial oaths. The incident was reported from Gujarat’s Surat on Friday last week.

According to the report published by the Times of India, the man has accused his wife of concealing her first marriage and therefore fraudulently obtained his consent to establish a sexual relationship, amounting to rape. The complainant was identified as Kamlesh, an accounting professional, who approached the court in order to book his wife and her parents for fraud as she did not reveal her past to him before getting married. Gujarat Shocker: Man Rapes Woman on Pretext of Ritual to Conceive Child, Arrested From Rajasthan.
