¶13

The allegations against the Applicant are that he had established forcible sexual relations with the Complainant at three-four times before marriage, in the result, she became pregnant. Thereafter on 10/5/2024 they performed marriage at Nagpur. It is further alleged that the Applicant has given false information about his income and business in the biodata. Infact he was not doing anything for his livelihood. It is alleged that after marriage the Applicant started harassing the Complainant mentally and physically. He used to beat her with kick and fist blows on trifle count and used to ask her to incur all household expenses from her salary. It is alleged that the Applicant had sent their private photographs to her friend on Whatsapp. As such, the Complainant lodged report to the Police Station, Beltarodi and offence came to be registered against the Applicant.
