Hyderabad, January 20: The story belongs to Syeda Tabinda Qurat ul Ain the only daughter of a retired engineer of APCPCL Hyderabad, Syed Taj Uddin Ahmed, whose marriage was performed on March 13 with much fervour according to the complaint. One lakh cash was given as jode ki raqam (dowry) and other items of Rs 80000 were given in addition to that. Rs 15000 were given to grooms family and 98.5 gram gold, 50 kilogram silver jewelry, a platinum ring and furniture worth 5 lakh rupees were also claimed to be given on the occasion of the marriage. 8 lakh rupees were spent on wedding arrangements. Inspite of doing all this, the husband in the bridal chamber itself reminded her that she was married for the sake of wealth. Not only this on March 15 2008, on the day of Valima (reception) the groom’s family took out all the jewelry from her and left her alone.
Still the bride’s family took her to the in-laws and left her there so that her life may not get ruined. Her husband went to Riyadh six days after their marriage. Her aged mother in law and sister in law kicked her in the stomach and demanded her to bring 21 lakh rupees from her parents causing her a miscarriage.
Despite that Tabinda went to her husband in Riyadh on her own expenses. There too she was violated. Once she was even forced to drink Detol as a result she had to be admitted to a hospital. Then she was sent back to Hyderabad to bring 21 lakh rupees from her parents. Inspite of that she preferred to stay with her in-laws and suffered violence for 24 days till she was kicked out of the house by her in laws.
How much truth the above story contains remains to be checked out? Can man retiring from an engineer post from APCPDCL spend Rs 50 lakh for his daughter’s marriage? When her husband disclosed the fact that the marriage was just for the wealth and her jewelry were taken out from her at reception why the complaint was not lodged then and there? Can the happening of miscarriage be known within 16 days of marriage? Even after miscarriage due to violence meted out by mother and sister in law can the girl be left at their mercy? Can a woman who dares to complain to a high official of CID, suffer so much violence? If not, then it clearly indicates that the law and influence has been misused just to harass the husband and his family.
