What do you do when you realize that you have been divorced for the last ten years without your knowledge and that too being happily married all the time? Well, that was what happened to a couple in India who realized that the government record show they have been divorced for a decade.
Meena Verma, a mother of two children, tried to file a case against her in-laws for violence, only to be told by a court in Haryana state that she had been divorced for a decade.
Her husband Virender told the Times of India his brother, a lawyer, had apparently forged the divorce a decade earlier, when the couple were contemplating making a similar complaint.
“It seems the divorce was doctored to defeat Meena’s possible complaint,” he said.(Reuters)
The couple filed a petition accusing Virender’s brother, Surinder Verma, and four associates, of forgery.
