After spending ₹20 lakh to arrange her departure to the United States, the husband allegedly coerced the wife’s parents into signing divorce papers under false pretenses, prompting police to file a case against them.
A police report filed in a local court states that a husband spent approximately ₹20 lakh to facilitate his wife’s relocation to the United States. The same report alleges that, under the guise of a legitimate divorce, the husband persuaded the wife’s parents to sign divorce documents. The parents claim they were misled and signed the papers without full knowledge of the circumstances.
According to the filing, the police have taken action against both the wife and her parents, citing coercion and fraudulent signing of legal documents. The case is now under investigation, and the authorities are examining the authenticity of the divorce papers and the financial transactions involved.
The incident has drawn attention to the legal safeguards required when large sums are involved in marital disputes and international relocations. Legal experts are advising families to seek independent counsel before signing any divorce-related documents, especially when significant financial arrangements are at stake.
