18-year-Old Daughter-in-law Elopes with Father-in-law Who is 55

The story of love affair of a mother-in-law and son-in-law from Aligarh is still fresh and now a contrasting but equally disturbing case has emerged from Rampur. In a shocking incident that has shattered family ties leaving the locals stunned, a 55-year-old man married his own son's fiancée in a village in Rampur district of Uttar Pradesh. The couple had been missing for eight days and when they returned, it was all chaos in the family. The matter was later taken to the village council following which the couple was banished from the village.

The Girl is Only 18 Years Old

The story began six months ago when a man from the Bhot police station area arranged his son's engagement with an 18-year-old girl from a nearby village. After the engagement, the father of the would be groom started visiting the girl's house frequently -- sometimes under the pretext of maintaining family relations, and at other times citing wedding preparations.

Took Daughter-in-law to Delhi on the Pretext of Buying Medicine

The boy's family assumed the father's behavior was normal and harmless. They had no idea that something else was going on. Reportedly, around eight days ago, the groom's father took his car to the girl's village and took her to Delhi, saying he needed to get her some medicine. But, shockingly when he returned, he declared that the girl -- once supposed to be his daughter-in-law -- was now his wife. The son was left speechless and erupted in anger. A heated argument followed, with physical violence breaking out. The news spread across the village like a wild fire.

The Village's Future Daughter-in-Law Becomes the Elder Man’s Wife

The son and his mother insisted that the man and the girl should leave the house immediately. The girl, who was once going to be the daughter-in-law of the village, was now the wife of an elderly man. Villagers were baffled and didn't know how to describe this relationship. Later, following the village council's decision, the couple was expelled from the village.

The new couple have now settled in another village. The girl's family has remained silent about the entire episode. Even though several days have passed since the incident, the matter continues to be the talk of the town.
