In a shocking incident, when a 22-year-old man, Mohammad Azim, arrived for his nikah ceremony found that a 45-year-old widow, the mother of the woman he thought he was set to marry, was behind the bride’s veil.
Azim from Meerut’s Brahmpuri arrived for his nikah ceremony last week in Shamli, believing that he was about to marry a 21-year-old woman. But he was shocked to find the 45-year-old widow was behind the veil.
According to Azim, on March 31, his elder brother, Nadeem and sister-in-law, Shaida, assured him that his marriage had been arranged with Shaida’s 21-year-old niece, Mantasha, a resident of Fazalpur in Kankerkhera.
Azim’s suspicions arose when the maulvi mentioned the bride’s name as Tahira, Mantasha’s mother. Confirming his doubts, Azim lifted the veil to find Tahira, a 45-year-old widow, instead of his intended bride, Mantasha.
He claimed to the police that when he refused to go ahead with the marriage or take the bride home, his brother and sister-in-law threatened to implicate him in a false rape case. Betrayed and fearing legal trouble, Azim returned home alone and approached the SSP office in Meerut on Thursday to file a complaint.
SSP Meerut Dr Vipin Tada said that a complaint has been received regarding the matter. “A thorough investigation will be conducted, and necessary action will be taken based on the facts.” The case is currently under investigation.
