The husband and wife reportedly had an argument over accepting the child, following which the woman threatened to kill and lodge a fake case against her husband if "he does not accept her child". Maharajganj police said that they are investigating the matter. What began as a normal argument between a husband and wife took a shocking turn when the woman allegedly threatened to kill the man or frame him in a false dowry case.
The incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh’s Maharajganj district and stemmed from a dispute over the woman’s pregnancy. Following the husband’s complaint, police intervened and have launched an investigation against the woman. According to the police complaint, the couple tied the knot in June 2022, but trouble reportedly began soon after.
The husband alleged that his wife consistently refused to engage in any physical relationship, which left him distressed. He also claimed that she frequently visited her parents’ home in Uttar Pradesh’s Sant Kabir Nagar district. In November 2024, she allegedly left for her parental home once again—this time without informing him.
In February 2025, the man reached out to his wife, requesting her to return home. However, it was only in April that a twist unfolded, when the woman complained of stomach pain and was taken to the hospital, where doctors revealed she was 14 weeks pregnant. Shocked by the revelation, the man sought confirmation from multiple medical professionals, only to receive the same diagnosis each time.
Upon confrontation, the woman allegedly confessed that the child was not his. She then reportedly threatened him—demanding he accept her, or else she would either “kill him or falsely implicate him in a dowry case". With the matter now under investigation, the Maharajganj police confirmed that a case has been registered at the local police station, and further legal proceedings are currently underway.
Meanwhile, social media users quickly reacted in the comments, expressing shock and frustration over the situation. One user wrote, “Now is the time for gender equality law—where else can innocent people turn? Scrap gender-biased laws and bring in gender-neutral legislation to empower all citizens, regardless of gender." Another commented, “The husband should just accept his fate, reconcile with his wife, and raise the child—because legally, he may have no other choice in India.
" Internet users reiterated how the Indian judiciary will leave the husband to bear the responsibility of the child, even if he files for a divorce. One wrote, “But the court will say it’s yours. Like if somebody else is driving your vehicle & has an accident, then you are responsible as the LEGAL owner of the vehicle .
..like here also you are LEGAL HUSBAND so it’s yours.
" The incident surfaced shortly after a similar case was reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda district, where a woman allegedly threatened to kill her husband for opposing her extramarital affair. As per reports, she even referenced the chilling Meerut murder case and warned her husband that he could meet the same fate..
