A woman in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, has abandoned her husband of 20 years and eloped with her brother-in-law, who is 19 years her junior. She also took jewelry and cash from the home. The husband, who earns a living by driving an auto-rickshaw, was shocked by his wife’s actions. He reported the incident to the police, who have registered a case against the wife and brother-in-law and are currently searching for them. This is not the first time the woman has run away with her brother-in-law; she returned previously after being persuaded by family members. The couple’s sons are grown up and are also distressed by their mother’s behavior. The husband stated that while he worked hard to provide for his family, his wife was having an affair with her brother-in-law. The husband said his wife had gone to her parents’ house on the pretext of visiting them and ran away from there.
