MALAPPURAM: The husband has been remanded in the case of the newlywed woman committing suicide in Malappuram, unable to bear the continuous humiliation from her husband regarding her complexion. Abdul Wahid, a native of Morayur, was remanded for 14 days by the Malappuram Magistrate Court. Shahana Mumtaz (19), a native of Kondotty, committed suicide a few days ago due to mental torture. Kondotty police registered a case based on the complaint of the woman's family following her suicide. He has been charged with incitement to suicide and mental torture.

Abdul Wahid, who was abroad, boarded the flight to Kannur airport last day. Then, according to the look-out notice, the accused was taken into custody by the immigration department and handed over to Kondotty police. Shahana's family has filed a complaint against the accused's parents also.

Shahana and Abdul Wahid got married on May 27 last year. Abdul Wahid went to the Gulf a month after this. The complaint is that Abdul Wahid insulted Shahana several times over the phone for her skin complexion. Shahana was shamed for having a dark complexion. In the complaint, Shahana was insulted by saying that she could not speak English and was pushed to end her marriage because of this. The girl's mother-in-law asked the girl, "You only stayed with him for less than 20 days, why are you hanging on to this? Can't you find another husband?"
