Man ‘marries' wife again to get Mukhyamantri Nikah Yojana grant
Indore: A woman's complaint about domestic violence during public hearing in Burhanpur led to district administration uncovering a fraud in Mukhyamantri Nikah Yojana . The woman's husband had allegedly forced her to 'marry' him again at a mass marriage ceremony under Mukhyamantri Nikah Yojana to get the govt grant. The couple have a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. "The victim approached us in a public hearing, and based on her complaint, a probe revealed the fraud," Collector Harsh Singh said. The woman, Afreen, said that she had married the man on Dec 30, 2021. "My husband, Salman, constantly demanded dowry and would beat me. Distressed by this, I returned to my parental home. A settlement was reached in the family court, but his violent behaviour resumed. In Jan, he assaulted me and forcibly made me sit in the marriage ceremony so that he could receive the govt grant," she said. The woman said that her husband then allegedly demanded Rs 50,000 and threatened to kill her. On April 7, she informed her family about the continued assault. On Tuesday, she lodged another complaint during a public hearing. The Collector said that the probe also brought forth the negligence in scrutiny of the applicant for Mukhyamantri Nikah Yojana, and as such officials responsible would be served notice. "We will also approach the police to take legal action against the accused for the attempt to defraud the govt scheme," he said. The municipal corporation has cancelled the Rs 49,000 grant that couple was eligible to under the scheme. Senior officials said that this was the first such case of fraud under the scheme, which provides Rs 49,000 to eligible couples.
