A 29-year-old physiotherapist, married to a well-known hotelier’s son, has accused her husband of sexual abuse and her parents-in-law of harassment. The woman has claimed that the husband inserted a foreign object into her genitalia and tried to force her into pornography.
The woman has registered an FIR with Khar police. The woman’s aunt told mid-day that she married the accused in 2014. According to the FIR, the accused, addicted to porn, also spoke of her women family members in a predatory manner. Once, he allegedly demanded that she give him photographs of her sisters.

Taunted by in-laws
The aunt said, “She was being taunted for being unable to conceive but in reality, the accused has been unable to consummate the marriage.”
The woman said, “When he inserted a foreign object into me, I did not tell anyone. But this encouraged him to push me into working as a porn star,” the woman alleged in the FIR.
“One night, the accused live-streamed her over a video call with an unknown man while she was sleeping. This is the trigger for the case. She confided to her sisters in June,” the aunt said.
The woman’s parents have decided not to send her back to her in-laws. “When I texted her in-laws, her father-in-law told me to get a triple talaq. Why should I go for triple talaq when it is illegal in India?” said the woman’s mother, adding that the in-laws are not returning her belongings and documents like the passport, bank passbooks, etc.

The FIR has been filed against the woman’s husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law, who allegedly mentally tortured her.
On the other hand, the woman is undergoing treatment for depression.
“Why has the police not invoked the Information Technology Act? Is the Khar police trying to protect the accused?” said the woman’s aunt.
Senior Inspector of Khar police, Gajanan Kabdule, said, “We have registered an FIR and the probe is on. The accused husband has been arrested, his phone has been seized and sent for forensic analysis. Based on the forensic report, we will decide if IT Act is applicable.”
The accused’s hotelier father did not respond to mid-day’s calls and messages till the time of going to press.
