Brothers in Law Dumped Wives for Each Other

AHMEDABAD: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments," says William Shakespeare in Sonnet 116 declaring that nothing should come in between two souls in love with each other. One such marriage, however, has proved devastating for two other marriages.
In a particular case, two men have dumped their wives, both sisters, to unite and start a separate family.
The two got involved in a homosexual (gay) relationship after being introduced to each other as brothers-in-law. The two recently moved in together in a separate house.
Both the sisters on Saturday approached a local court accusing their husbands of duping them and sought justice. The sisters have demanded an interim relief in form of maintenance and shelter.
Ironically, the elder sister has also been divorced through triple talaq delivered to her in a legal notice sent by her husband.

The elder sister got married with a local trader in 2010 and the couple was blessed with a child soon after. Trouble in paradise began after the younger sister got married in 2013. The elder sister's husband, whose homosexual leanings had got exposed by then, developed gay relationship with the husband of the younger sister. One and half years ago, both men dumped their wives and have started living together.
Devastated, the sisters first approached police, but since there was no violation of law except evasion of duty to maintain family on part of men, police expressed their helplessness.
Left with no hope, the sisters have now knocked on doors of a magisterial court and filed a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. They have alleged harassment and neglect on part of their husbands due to their homosexual relationship. They have urged the court to direct their husbands to pay them maintenance amount as part of interim arrangement. The court has fixed hearing on their complaints on November 19.
