Sisters Seek to Swap Husbands in Gwalior Court

Kathmandu. A strange competition between sisters over a husband has come to light during the hearing of an abduction case in court.< /p>

The incident took place in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh state of India. This incident came to light in the Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.< /p>

According to Indian media, Girija Shankar, a resident of Datia, had filed a writ petition for habeas corpus in the High Court. He alleged that a person named Mayaram had abducted his wife and daughter.< /p>

Following the court's order, Girija Shankar's wife appeared in court. The woman claimed that she had not been abducted and stated that she had gone with Mayaram willingly.< /p>

Girija Shankar and Mayaram are brothers-in-law by relation. The case reached the court while Girija Shankar's wife was living with her brother-in-law Mayaram at his house.< /p>

Girija Shankar's wife stated that she had filed for divorce from her husband Girija Shankar and wished to live with Mayaram.< /p>

The woman's sister and Mayaram's wife also stated that she had no objection to her elder sister living with her husband. However, she also requested the court for permission, stating that she too wished to live with her brother-in-law Girija Shankar.< /p>

Both sisters clarified in court that they were not satisfied with their married lives and wanted to swap husbands. As they expressed their desire to start a marital life with each other's husbands by mutual consent, the court dismissed the habeas corpus writ petition.< /p>

The court clarified that this matter was not an abduction but a family dispute and therefore no order was necessary. It was stated that both women are adults and the process of them making their own decisions is ongoing.< /p>
