Runaway Brides of Tamil Nadu [India]

Runaway Brides of Tamil Nadu [a state in India]

================================================== ==



Following the news report on some missing men,
sensational stories of missing wifes

- who have deserted Non Resident Indians,

- left their MATRIMONIAL homes & returned to
India under various pretexts,

- to file false and frivolous DOWRY [IPC498A]
cases against these hapless NRI and their family,
has emerged.

Take the case of Vinayak (name changed).

Vinayak was a well settled finance professional
employed at United Arab Emirates.

He got married to veRRi (name changed) in 1996.
veRRi [pronounced as vetRRi]

After a honeymoon and WHEN VeRRi'S passport was
ready, the couple returned to Gulf without major
wait or delays ..within 3 months of marriage

Initially life seemed cool. The couple were
blessed with a kid, thEnmozi [name changed].

All trouble erupted when veRRi could NOT get a
job of her liking in the Middle East. She often
complained that she was forced into this marriage
by parents. She forced Vinayak to go for marriage
counseling in United Arab Emirates. The counselor
advised that Vinayak's mother be thrown out of
the house. To accommodated VeRRi vinayak threw
his mother out of the house. The hapless woman
who was about 60 was sent back and had to live on
her own in India.

Still veRRi continued her tantrums.

Matters reached a peak when veRRi threatened of
suicide. She used to lock herself inside out
toilet in the middle of the night and threaten
that she will commit suicide... I was terrified
and could NOT sleep a wink, Vinayak recounts the
horror !!

veRri returned to her parental home at Chennai
in 1999 and promptly filed a FALSE 498A case in
early 2000. The case has NOT been tried or
decided till date. veRRi threatened Vinayak's
mother and other close relatives of arrest and
defamation.

Ever since, Vinayak has tried evey method to
bring his wife and kid back. veRRi often changed
her address without any intimation to cut off all
communications with Vinayak and to alienate the
kid from Vinayak. She landed a plum job in
Bangalore [approx 400 km away from Chennai]. For
years she went incommunicado. The day Vinayak
located them he sought child custody. VeRRi
denied child custody in court. Finally when
Vinayak managed to obtain JUST visiting rights
[NOT CUSTODY] the child could NOT even recognize
Vinayak.

"..I wept that day .." says Vinayak, with his
eyes going moist even now when he recounts that
day.

Vinayak makes costly trips to Chennai, and
appeals to his wife, her parents, the Family
courts and court appointed counselors requesting
them to re unite him with his wife and beloved kid

Vinayak is also ready to bequeath a part of his
hard earned money in the name of his kid, though
Vinayak has been completely alienated from his
kid.

The latest twist : His Wife has left for
Singapore and is NOT EVEN attending Family court
hearings ever since Mid November 2006 !!

The case is IN limbo with the family court NOT
giving an ex parte

When Vinayak tried to seek FREE legal aid, he
was told that that was reserved ONLY for WOMEN as
if MEN are NOT eligible for benefits of the tax
payer's money

Vinayak continues his days waiting .... waiting
for justice and a NORMAL married life........
