Kanpur: Man files FIR against in-laws for misleading him to marry transgender

KANPUR: Accusing his in-laws and the mediator of misleading him to marry a transgender, a man, a resident of Shatrinagar area of the city, lodged an FIR against them at the local police station on Monday.
The man in his complaint has accused his in-laws of deceiving him by keeping him and his family in dark at the time of the marriage.
According to the complaint, the man, who got married on April 28, had discovered his wife’s condition when he tried to consummate the marriage.
He claimed the genitals of his wife were not fully developed due to which she was unable to establish physical relations with him.
He said when he took his wife for a medical examination, it was discovered in the medical report that she was a transgender.
“A resident of Shastrinagar married a woman from the Panki area of the district. After their marriage, the bride was found uncomfortable in making relationships with the groom, and told him that she had health issues. As the days passed, the man began to suspect that something was amiss. He finally took his wife to a gynecologist for a medical check-up. To his horror, he was informed by the doctor that his wife was a transgender,” the police said.
The man lodged a complaint along with the medical reports of his wife on Sunday. Later, an FIR was filed under section 420 (cheating) of IPC against the bride, her parents and the mediator.
“An FIR against eight persons, including man’s in laws has been lodged under relevant sections of the IPC, and investigations are continuing in this regard,” said inspector Kakadeo Kunj Bihari Mishra.
