Woman found living with secret incestuous lover and children after deceiving family for 17 years.
After a protracted police investigation, it was discovered that the woman was leading a hidden double life with a relative lover and their two children, and she was brought before a judge on Saturday.
A woman has been found guilty of deceiving her family for 17 years by secretly marrying a relative and having two children with him.
After a protracted investigation, police in Kerala, India, brought the anonymous woman before a court on Saturday at the request of her family.
She relocated from the village of Mannancherry in Kerala to the state of Andhra Pradesh in 2004 and told her family she was working as a teacher there, according to authorities.
“She was in love with a relative in Mannancherry, but the family was against the relationship,” said K V Benny, a Kerala police official.
“Later, the woman informed the family that she had married and was living with an Andhra native.
“She afterwards cut all ties with her family as well.
“However, it raised questions in the family, and they attempted, but failed, to locate her.”
When a government identification card was sent to her original family home in 2015, her lies began to unravel. Her relative was named as her husband on the card.
To escape suspicion, the relative had been visiting the family on a regular basis. Concerned about the prospect of an incestuous relationship, they asked him about the card, but he denied any connection with her.
In an attempt to appear normal, the woman made calls to various relatives at the same time. She also emailed her family a photo of herself, an Andhra man, and two children, stating that the man was her husband.
As the family became more suspicious, they filed a case in the High Court, which ordered police to investigate.
Police swiftly discovered that she didn’t live in Andhra Pradesh as she stated, but rather in Palakkad, the city where the identification card application was filed.
They also discovered that the phone number on the card, as well as the photo she had provided to her relatives, were both phony.
Her relative boyfriend had switched his phone number off in Palakkad and had a secret number that he used to contact the victim, according to cyber detectives.
The woman was taken to court once it was proved that they were indeed living together.
However, the ultimate decision has yet to be made.
