Indian Marital Bliss
The potential groom told police he first connected with Reshma through a matrimonial website last month. After initial conversations with a woman who introduced herself as a mediator, Reshma was presented as a potential match. They later met in a mall in Kottayam, where Reshma told him she had grown up as an orphan and had very few relatives, which is why she wouldn’t have anyone from her side attending the wedding scheduled for June 6. However, doubts were raised when she visited the groom’s friend’s house the previous evening. The friend’s wife noticed her suspicious conduct and warned the groom. On Friday, as Reshma arrived at the wedding parlor, her handbag was discreetly searched, and documents relating to several past marriages were discovered. The police were immediately called, and she was detained. According to police officials, Reshma’s modus operandi was simple yet effective — after the wedding ceremony, where the groom would traditionally present the Mangalasutra, a sacred necklace worn by married Hindu women, made of black and gold beads, often featuring a gold or diamond pendant. Reshma would vanish within days, cutting off all contact.
“We have started contacting the men she previously married based on the information we’ve obtained during questioning,” the official said, adding, “She appears to have been planning at least two more weddings in the coming months.” “She is now in our custody. Her arrest has been formally recorded, and she will be produced before the local court soon,” a police official said. The incident has shocked the local community and raised serious concerns over matrimonial fraud. Further investigation is underway to uncover the full extent of Reshma’s deception and identify any possible accomplices.
What goes around…
In a bizarre counter incident, a 25-year-old man in India’s Uttar Pradesh state eloped 9 days before the wedding date. On April 9, Rahul said he was going shopping for wedding clothes, but he later called his father to say, “I’m leaving. Don’t try to look for me.” Around the same time, his future mother-in-law also went missing without leaving a message. Police say the new couple may be in Uttarakhand, where he works, and are investigating there. Invitations for the wedding, had already been sent. Bride-to-be Shivani said her fiancé and her mother “used to talk on the phone a lot over the past three to four months.” Family members claimed that the relationship started after the mother in law to be “Ms Anita” gifted a mobile phone to her would-be son-in-law six months ago. People said the prospective groom often visited his in-laws’ place and talked to his mother-in-law for hours, which no one found suspicious.
After the incident, the would-be bride went into shock and fell sick. The families of both Mr. Rahul and Ms. Anita searched for them after reporting the matter to the police. Ms. Anita also ran off with her daughter’s jewelry and US $5,400 in cash, which were kept in the house for the wedding. “However, the woman’s family has submitted a written complaint that she has taken jewelry and cash from the house,” he added. All we want is that the money and jewelry should be returned to us.” “Therefore, after registering a disappearance complaint, surveillance and police teams have been engaged in the investigation.
Funny Complications
I have a fear of overly complicated buildings.
I have a complex complex, complex.
Where do you learn to make complicated ice-cream dishes?
Sundae school.
I told my wife, “I love you. I wish you were happy all the time.” To which she responded, “I wish you didn’t make me mad all the time.”
“That sounds like what I said, but more complicated…”
I was confused as to why my interviewer gave me a blank stare when I told her my best quality was my flexibility. So I demonstrated…
I guess she’s never seen a man put both his legs behind his head before.
