In a bizarre incident, a man in Gumla, Jharkhand, facilitated the marriage of his wife to her lover after catching her trying to run away from home in the middle of the night. The couple’s relationship, which began with mutual love and trust, was shattered by the intrusion of a third person. Rinku Sahu, residing in the Sisai block, organized the wedding of his wife, Urmila Kumari, to her boyfriend, and subsequently bid them farewell. Rinku was aware of his wife’s affair and had tried to dissuade her, considering their three-year-old daughter. Despite his pleas, Urmila was determined to pursue her relationship with her lover.
One night, Urmila attempted to secretly leave the house, but her husband, Rinku, noticed her. He raised an alarm, gathering the entire village. In front of the villagers, he had his wife marry her lover and then sent them away together.
Rinku Sahu and Urmila Kumari had been married for approximately five years and had a daughter. Their marital life was seemingly stable until Avinash Kumar, a resident of Gaya district in Bihar, entered their lives. Avinash, who worked as a driver for a company, and Urmila grew closer, meeting secretly. When Rinku learned of the increasing closeness between his wife and her lover, he was devastated.
Urmila remained firm on her decision to stay with her lover, despite Rinku’s attempts to reason with her. The news of the affair spread throughout the neighborhood. Urmila’s parents also tried to convince her, emphasizing the importance of her marriage. However, Urmila remained unmoved. She planned to flee with Avinash, taking valuable jewelry and cash from the house.
However, on Tuesday, as she was trying to escape, Rinku saw her. He alerted the villagers, and a village council was convened. Rinku, angered by his wife’s disloyalty, declared that he was severing all ties with Urmila. Subsequently, he had the lover put sindoor on her forehead, formalizing their marriage, and sent them away. The incident of the husband marrying his wife to her lover has become a major topic of discussion in the region.
