A 29-year-old woman from Shivamogga, Karnataka
has filed a police complaint, accusing her husband of being gay.

The woman filed the complaint at the Jnanabharathi police station. Police have booked the husband under IPC sections 498A (domestic violence), 420 (punishment for cheating and dishonestly) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).

The couple got married in 2020. When she didn’t conceive after two years, her family members started asking questions. Her husband suggested she undergo a medical examination but never got physically intimate with her.

“I was given unreasonable excuses when I approached him for intimacy. When questions were raised about our compatibility, my husband made me undergo a medical test without revealing his sexual orientation,” she alleged.

The couple also tried In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) but it failed. She later got suspicious and checked her husband’s social media where she found out that he was gay.

In her complaint shw stated that when she confronted him, he allegedly assaulted her, forcing her to leave him and return to her parents. He tried to bring her back. His family, too, tried but she didn’t succeed.

The woman also stated that he threatened to kill himself.
