One has often heard that love transcends all barriers; but can the same get as bizarre as this??????
This outlandish instance of a 42 year old woman marrying her very own son-in-law in a ceremony blessed by both the panchayat as well as fellow residents of a village in Bihar's Madhepura district has most certainly shocked even a jaded old soul like me out of my wits.........
What however is most galling and consternating is the indisputable fact that 42 year old Asha Devi did not even consider the ramifications of her decision and the disastrous/disparaging effect of her somewhat eccentric decision on her 19 year old daughter Lalita who had more than willingly married the now 22 year old Suraj (Asha Devi's son-in-law as well as newly wedded husband) and an one year old son was also born out of this wedlock........
According to sources in the know the absence of Asha Devi's husband of more than twenty two years standing more than paved the way or rather facilitated the blossoming of this indecipherable relationship between mother in law and son-in-law and the same clandestine relationship that had been brewing between the duo for well over a year culminated in their marrying each other in the village temple with the village's so called five supposedly "wise" men gracing the ceremony and according it their "official" stamp of approval on the fateful day of June 13; 2016.........
Asha Devi's husband who had been gainfully employed in a New Delhi based garment factory for the last twenty years or so arrived on the scene in a fit of rage and proceeded to take away his beloved daughter and grandson from the now infamous village as the maddening act and vexatious actions of his better half and son-in-law had effectively ended the relationship that existed between the two of them (Suraj and Lalita) and the three of them have now moved into the gent's (father's) modest New Delhi dwelling as a consequence of this unholy alliance between the "madly" in love duo who can't even bear to spare a moment away from each other.........
One is however still not clear about whether or not the 22 year old son Suraj divorced his wife of two odd years standing or then even applied for the dissolution of his first marriage before marrying his mother in law as he can only marry for a second time after either legally terminating his first marriage in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in the Hindu Marriage Act as the absence of a divorce decree or document could act as a spoke in their wheel and render this "panchayat sanctified" marriage null and void.........
As the situation stands right now; the duo have blissfully started cohabiting together as man and wife and the local police as well as other law enforcement agencies are awaiting the filing of a formal complaint from either one of the aggrieved parties (father and daughter) or then a conscientious and informed villager so that they can begin their investigations into this rather convoluted and complex imbroglio.........
