Surat man alleged that his wife used legal proceedings and financial demands to target spouses (AI IMAGE)
A man from Surat, Gujarat, sent a letter to the district collector asking for permission to end his life. He says his wife has been harassing him for years, and no matter how many times he’s reached out to the authorities, nobody has helped. The man identified as Kirit Patel told India Today that his wife keeps misusing laws meant to protect women. Whenever they have a domestic fight, she files complaints against him, and it’s taken a heavy toll on his mental health. He also says she tried to harm his child from a previous marriage. Patel says he went to the police, but they never registered an FIR about it.
Patel claims his wife uses legal fights and demands for money to target her husband. He even called her a “looteri dulhan,” basically a bride who loots. He says she’s done this to earlier husbands too. All this, though, is based on Patel’s side; there’s no official inquiry or proof backing up his story.
One of the most grave allegations made by Patel is that his son from his previous marriage was threatened by his wife, but when he approached the police regarding this matter, no FIR was registered regarding the same. Patel mentioned that on several occasions, he asked the authorities to look into this matter.
Feeling desperate and let down by the authorities, Patel asked for euthanasia, hoping someone will finally pay attention to what’s happening to him and maybe rethink how these marital disputes get handled.
Patel’s plea for euthanasia shows just how worn down he feels. He’s frustrated. He says the system offers no real protection for men caught up in domestic disputes. Every time he went to the police or government offices, all he got were empty promises.
His application, officially stamped by the Surat Collector’s Office, asks for permission to end his life. He’s blunt: he doesn’t see any other way out. Patel has even said that if his problems aren’t solved within a set time, he’ll be forced to take matters into his own hands. Right now, officials haven’t responded to his accusations or his request.
Then there’s a separate story from Hajipur, Bihar, that recently blew up on social media. Aman Kumar says his wife abandoned him and their family and ended up living with another man. He told ANI that after their arranged marriage in 2013, he supported her education, even selling land to pay for her studies.
