AHMEDABAD: A 40-year-old woman who lives near SG Road, lodged a complaint of domestic violence at the Women’s police station (west) on Sunday, alleging that her husband forces her to be part of ‘wife-swapping’ with his friend. She has also accused her father-in-law and mother-in-law of torturing as they want to drive her out of the house. The woman alleged that her husband is having an affair with another woman and wants a divorce from her.

According to the FIR, the complainant got married in 2004. She stated that for about 14 years she was treated well by her husband but after she learned about his affair, he started to torment her and often abused and assaulted her. He also forced her to be part of a wife-swapping arrangement with his friend.

Police sources said the complainant alleged that though her husband had earlier given her assurances in writing that he would treat her properly and end his affair, he continued to torment her and kept meeting the other woman.

The complainant alleged that in February, her husband took away her 11-year-old son from school and kept him at his uncle’s house without informing her.

The FIR states that when learned the whereabouts of her son, she went to the uncle’s house but he refused to give him to her without her husband’s permission.

A senior police official said she also alleged that her in-laws did not allow her to enter the kitchen to make food for her son and drove away a maid she had hired for household work.

The complainant alleged that in July, her in-laws evicted her from her room and locked it and she has since been living in her son’s room in the same house.

A senior police official said they registered a complaint under Sections 498 (a), 323, 294(b) and 114 of the IPC and are verifying the complaint before they act against the accused.
