A family in Uttar Pradesh was left stunned when a woman who had been missing for nearly five years suddenly returned to her matrimonial home with a court order, just as her husband was preparing to marry again.

According to reports, the couple got married in 2020 in a love marriage of their own choice.

However, barely a month after the wedding, the woman allegedly left her matrimonial home.

Her husband’s family claims that they made several attempts to trace her but failed to find any information about her whereabouts for the next five years.

With no information about her and believing that she might never return, the family eventually moved on. After five years, the husband decided to remarry, and preparations for his second wedding were reportedly underway.

However, just when the family was preparing for the wedding, the first wife suddenly appeared at their home with a court order, making it clear that she would not allow her husband to marry again while their marriage was still legally subsisting.

The woman subsequently presented her version of events.

She alleged that she had been subjected to physical assault and verbal abuse over dowry demands at her matrimonial home, which forced her to leave. She further claimed that she approached the court after learning that her husband was planning to enter into a second marriage in order to protect her legal rights.

However, the husband’s family has a completely different account.

They maintain that the couple had married willingly, but the woman left just a month after the wedding without informing them of her whereabouts.

Despite their attempts to locate her, they allegedly received no information about her for five years.




Her sudden return, accompanied by a court order, has now left the family in a difficult situation, especially with the second marriage preparations already underway.

For now, both sides have presented conflicting versions of events. The woman’s allegations of dowry harassment and the family’s claims about her prolonged absence will need to be examined through the appropriate legal process.
