Although there is no age for committing a crime, but when such news comes to the fore that an 82-year-old man has tortured his 78-year-old wife for dowry, it is a one-time surprise. Yes, this interesting case has been registered in the police file in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
A 78-year-old woman living with her family in Chakeri area of Kanpur city has not only accused her husband of dowry harassment but also said that they beat her up and thrown her out of the house. Acting on the complaint of the elderly woman, the police have registered a case against six people including her husband Ganesh Narayan Shukla and his son-in-law. The most surprising aspect of this whole episode is that the elderly Ganesh Narayan Shukla, who has been accused of thrashing his wife out of the house and dowry harassment, cannot even walk without support.
According to the news of Zee News, Rajneesh, the son of this elderly couple, has told the media that although his mother’s behavior is good with all the members, but under pressure from some relatives, she has filed this case. The episode seems to be related to a family dispute.
Rajneesh told the media that his father was shocked when his wife filed a dowry case against him. Meanwhile, Advocate Shivendra Kumar Pandey has said that according to the facts which have come to light, there seems to be a case of misuse of dowry law. After so many years of marriage and late in life it seems kind of pointless to allege dowry harassment like this. It has been told that at present this matter is in the arbitration center so that this dispute can be settled through talks between both the parties.
