A sessions court on Saturday said anyone breaching the sanctity of marriage and ruining lives of those involved in the relationship must be dealt with severely. The observation was made while dismissing the bail plea of a man, who allegedly helped his brother to beguile a married woman into an unlawful marriage.
Rejecting anticipatory bail to the accused, ASJ Kamini Lau said, “The conduct of accused Pawan Kumar Pandey is reprehensible and allegations involved are serious as they adversely affect the moral of society.”
As per evidence, Pandey had aided his elder brother in abducting a married woman — the complainant — and illegally marrying her in May 2007. Pandey, after his brother allegedly took the woman away to a place in Himachal Pradesh, had gone to her parents and made them believe that she had died. Taken in by Pandey’s statement, the parents of the abducted woman married their second daughter with her first husband. Meanwhile, Pandey’s brother forced the abducted woman to marry him in a temple and had a physical relationship even though she resisted saying she was already married.
According to the FIR, Pandey’s brother not only forced her to abort twice but also fled with her valuables. The woman then came back to Delhi and filed an FIR against Pandey and his brother under the charges of abduction, rape and criminal conspiracy. As the magistrate ordered lodging of an FIR, Pandey moved for anticipatory bail.
