Woman fears for life over inter-caste relationship, says she'd married her boyfriend earlier, too, but that wasn't valid as she was a minor
Less than 12 hours after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly kidnapped in a Telangana village — the incident was caught on a CCTV camera — a video has emerged with the woman, in bridal attire, declaring that she has married one of those men, her boyfriend, with whom she'd tried to elope earlier too.
She said her father was opposed to their inter-caste relationship and she feared for her husband and her own life now. They'd got "married" 10 months ago but the man, 24, was charged with sexual assault and child marriage as she was a minor then. The age hitch is now removed.
She even claimed this morning's incident wasn't staged.
As the four men had their faces covered when she was shoved into a car, she thought she was being kidnapped, she said.
