Man Marries Son’s Fiancée, Leaves With Gold and Cash
In a deeply disturbing incident from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, a man named Shakeel, a father of six children, reportedly abandoned his responsibilities and eloped with his own son’s fiancée. This betrayal has sparked public outrage and raised serious concerns about emotional trauma and domestic violence within families.
The Sequence of Events
Initially, Shakeel had arranged the engagement of his minor son to a young woman. However, during frequent visits to the girl’s house, Shakeel allegedly developed a romantic relationship with her. Over time, their secret affair came to light through a series of troubling events.
Wife's Suspicion and Discovery
Shakeel’s wife, Shabana, who has six children with him, grew suspicious when he began spending more time on video calls and behaving unusually.
“I caught him with her twice. He used to talk to her on video call all day,” Shabana said.
Despite initially being dismissed, Shabana and her son gathered evidence to prove the affair. Eventually, the truth became undeniable.
Son's Reaction and Family Fallout
After discovering the affair, the son refused to proceed with the marriage. In a shocking twist, he also alleged that his grandparents were aware of the relationship and even supported the marriage between Shakeel and the fiancée.
Financial and Emotional Damage
According to family members, Shakeel left the family home with ₹2 lakh in cash and around 17 grams of gold. He reportedly used these assets to marry his son’s former fiancée.
This incident has not only caused emotional distress but has also led to physical violence. Shakeel allegedly assaulted his wife, Shabana, when she objected to the relationship.
Psychosocial Impact
Such incidents can have a profound psychological impact on all family members, especially children. Experts highlight that betrayal within the family structure often leads to long-term trauma, emotional instability, and trust issues.
Conclusion
This case underscores the importance of emotional integrity, legal protection for vulnerable family members, and timely mental health support. Communities must come together to prevent such breakdowns and ensure justice for those harmed.
For those experiencing similar situations, it is crucial to seek support from helplines, legal counsel, and mental health professionals.
