A Muslim woman from Mumbai has alleged that she was deceived by her husband, Manish, whom she met through social media, and later subjected to repeated domestic violence after marriage. The case was reported at the Tilak Nagar Police Station.
The woman said her husband initially pretended to be someone else while communicating with her online, and later married her after a long relationship.
She alleged, “He spoke to another woman named Nikita Parekh during my pregnancy. I caught him multiple times, and when I objected, he beat me.”
Allegations of Abuse During Pregnancy
According to the woman, the abuse began during her pregnancy and continued after she gave birth to twin daughters.
She said, “When I raised objections, he hit me. I stayed silent because I was pregnant.”
The woman claimed that the situation worsened after the birth of her twin daughters in November, saying her in-laws expressed disappointment over not having a male child.
She alleged, “They said it would have been better if the children had died in NICU.”
Serious Allegations Against In-Laws
The woman further accused her husband and in-laws of regular harassment and physical violence. She said she was pressured for money to cover hospital expenses and told to bring financial support from her parental home.
She added that she was beaten by multiple family members when she tried to speak up.
According to her statement, “My husband, sister-in-law, and others together assaulted me.”
Claims of Police Inaction
The woman also alleged that despite approaching the police multiple times, she did not receive proper help.
She said that she was first given a non-cognisable complaint instead of an FIR and was repeatedly sent back without action.
She added, “I have no hope from the FIR right now.”
She further claimed that she was even asked to settle the matter instead of pursuing legal action.
Children and Documents Withheld, Says Victim
The woman also alleged that she has been separated from her children and is not being allowed access to them. She claimed that her husband is withholding her personal documents, making it difficult for her to rebuild her life.
She said she is currently staying with her mother and trying to survive by looking for work.
