Sant Kabir Nagar: In an extraordinary turn of events, a husband in Uttar Pradesh’s Sant Kabir Nagar district not only accepted his wife’s extramarital relationship but also organised her wedding to her lover, taking full responsibility for their two children himself. The incident, which has gone viral, has left the village in awe and sparked mixed reactions.
Bablu, a resident of Katar Jot village, married Radhika from Gorakhpur in 2017. The couple had two children—Aryan (7) and Shivani (2). Due to work commitments, Bablu was often away, during which Radhika developed a relationship with Vikas, a local youth.
When Bablu discovered the affair, instead of reacting angrily, he took an unconventional decision. He took Radhika to the Dhanaghta tehsil, prepared an affidavit, and then arranged her marriage to Vikas at the Daneenath Shiva Temple.
“I’ll Take Care of the Kids, You Be Happy”
In a heart-wrenching yet noble gesture, Bablu assured Radhika: “I will take care of both children. You just be happy.”
During the ceremony, Radhika was seen crying as she exchanged garlands with Vikas, who applied sindoor in her maang (hair parting). Surprisingly, Bablu and villagers were present at the wedding, witnessing the emotional moment.
While some praised Bablu’s sacrifice and maturity, others questioned the social and legal implications. The incident has become the talk of the district, with debates on marriage, morality, and personal choices.
Police have not yet commented on whether this arrangement holds legal validity, but the case highlights complex emotional and societal dynamics.
