One bad morning
her brother and two of her uncles turned up at my house. They wanted to know my intentions! They
questioned me “You are not taking your family responsibilities, what are your
intentions? I had answered it by saying that I had no intentions. “If she can
live with me with whatever money I earn. If she wants to stay in her house and
expecting me to send her money, then I am not going to send any money to her.
At the time of marriage did I signed any agreement that I will send her money
even if she stays in her house? More
than two years ago she left for her home with my daughter. Is she bothered how
I am living here? Instead of telling,
her to find some work and manages life with me, you people seem interested only
in money. I am not going to pay single
paisa. Do what you want. Do you want me to sign divorce paper? I will sign, but do not expect me to pay
alimony. That will never happen. I am determined. Now you all can leave my place”. They left me
by saying that I will face legal action.
I started
thinking… this is a classic case of making marriage as a meat business. Get married, have children, find fault with
husband, fight over silly things with mother in law, file divorce, take alimony
and live with the way she and her family wants.
This is not going to happen with me.
I am going to put a stop for this.
After a couple
of days I received court notice asking me to attend in my native place
Calicut. As the D-day approaches, I
started preparing for the test of my life.
I will fight it out with tooth and nail.
I need my daughter at any cost. I
knew.” yes “she will ask for her gold ornaments. Including the interest it is Rs.25, 000.there
is only one-way to recover her gold. That is by selling my mother’s wedding
chain. Ever since my father died it was lying in the jewelry box .my mother had
some sentimental value attached to it but there is no other way I can recover
my wife’s gold ornaments. At last my mother agrees to sell her wedding chain.
We got Rs26, 600 for her ornaments. I also need to write authorization letter for
my wife to recover her gold ornaments from bank. I have to hand over our
marriage registration certificate to the court. I do not need any lawyer to
fight my case…" I went to fight my case alone in Calicut. Kerala.
D-DAY
COURT PROCEDINGS.
Maya’s lawyer...“My
lord!” Here is man who does not want to
take responsibility Of his wife
